⥃Simeon’s Inheritance

[1] And the second lot² came forth to Simeon, [even] for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the³ inheritance of the children of Judah. [2] And they had in their inheritance Beer–sheba⁴, Sheba, and Moladah⁵, [3] And Hazar–shual⁶, and Balah, and Azem, [4] And Eltolad⁷, and Bethul, and Hormah⁸, [5] And Ziklag⁹, and Beth–marcaboth, and Hazar–susah¹⁰, [6] And Beth–lebaoth¹¹, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages: [7] Ain¹², Remmon¹³, and Ether¹⁴, and Ashan; four cities and their villages: [8] And all the villages that [were] round about these cities to Baalath–beer¹⁵, Ramath¹⁶ of the south. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. [9] Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much¹⁷ for them: therefore¹⁸ the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

⥃Zebulun’s Inheritance

[10] And the third¹⁹ lot came up for the children of Zebulun²⁰ according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: [11] And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river²¹ that [is] before Jokneam²²; [12] And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth–tabor²³, and then goeth out to Daberath²⁴, and goeth up to Japhia²⁵, [13] And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah–hepher²⁶, to Ittah–kazin, and goeth out to Remmon–methoar to Neah; [14] And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah–el: [15] And Kattath²⁷, and Nahallal, and Shimron²⁸, and Idalah, and Beth–lehem²⁹: twelve cities with their villages. [16] This [is] the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

⥃Issachar’s Inheritance

[17] [And] the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families. [18] And their border was toward Jezreel³⁰, and Chesulloth³¹, and Shunem³², [19] And Hapharaim³³, and Shion³⁴, and Anaharath, [20] And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, [21] And Remeth, and En–gannim³⁵, and En–haddah, and Beth–pazzez; [22] And the coast reacheth to Tabor³⁶, and Shahazimah, and Beth–shemesh³⁷; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. [23] This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

⥃Asher’s Inheritance

[24] And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.³⁸³⁹ [25] And their border was Helkath⁴⁰, and Hali, and Beten⁴¹, and Achshaph⁴², [26] And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal⁴³; and reacheth to Carmel⁴⁴ westward, and to Shihor–libnath; [27] And turneth toward the sunrising to Beth–dagon⁴⁵, and reacheth to Zebulun⁴⁶, and to the valley⁴⁷ of Jiphthah–el toward the north side of Beth–emek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul⁴⁸ on the left hand, [28] And Hebron, and Rehob⁴⁹, and Hammon, and Kanah⁵⁰, [even] unto great⁵¹ Zidon; [29] And [then] the coast turneth to Ramah⁵², and to the strong city Tyre⁵³; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib⁵⁴: [30] Ummah also, and Aphek⁵⁵, and Rehob⁵⁶: twenty and two cities with their villages. [31] This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.⁵⁷

⥃Naphtali’s Inheritance

[32] The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, [even] for the children of Naphtali according to their families. [33] And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim⁵⁸, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: [34] And [then] the coast turneth⁵⁹ westward to Aznoth–tabor⁶⁰, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah⁶¹ upon Jordan toward the sunrising. [35] And the fenced cities [are] Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath⁶², Rakkath, and Chinnereth⁶³, [36] And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor⁶⁴, [37] And Kedesh⁶⁵, and Edrei, and En–hazor, [38] And Iron, and Migdal–el, Horem, and Beth–anath⁶⁶, and Beth–shemesh⁶⁷; nineteen cities with their villages.

⥃Dan’s Inheritance

[40] [And] the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

[47] And the coast⁷⁹ of the children of Dan went out [too little] for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem⁸⁰, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. [48] This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

⥃Joshua’s Inheritance

[49] When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave⁸¹ an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them: [50] According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked, [even] Timnath–serah⁸² in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein. [51] These [are⁸³] the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh⁸⁴ before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
