Yusha 19

The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah. ²They had for their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, ³and Hazar Shual, and Balah, and Ezem, ⁴and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, ⁵and Ziklag, and Beth Marcaboth, and Hazar Susah, ⁶and Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages: ⁷Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages: ⁸and all the villages that were around these cities to Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. ⁹Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance. ¹⁰The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families; and the border of their inheritance was to Sarid; ¹¹and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam; ¹²and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth Tabor; and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia; ¹³and from there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Eth-kazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah; ¹⁴and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon; and the goings out of it were at the valley of Iphtah El; ¹⁵and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. ¹⁶This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages. ¹⁷The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children of Issachar according to their families. ¹⁸Their border was to Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, ¹⁹and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath, ²⁰and Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez, ²¹and Remeth, and Engannim, and En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez, ²²and the border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh; and the goings out of their border were at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. ²³This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages. ²⁴The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. ²⁵Their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, ²⁶and Allammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath; ²⁷and it turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon, and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah El northward to Beth Emek and Neiel; and it went out to Cabul on the left hand, ²⁸and Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even to great Sidon; ²⁹and the border turned to Ramah, and to the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah; and the goings out of it were at the sea by the region of Achzib; ³⁰Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages. ³¹This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages. ³²The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families. ³³Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum; and the goings out of it were at the Jordan; ³⁴and the border turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrise. ³⁵The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, ³⁶and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, ³⁷and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En Hazor, ³⁸Iron, and Migdal-El, Horem, and Beth Anath, and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages. ³⁹This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages. ⁴⁰The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. ⁴¹The border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh, ⁴²and Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah, ⁴³and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron, ⁴⁴and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath, ⁴⁵and Jehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon, ⁴⁶and Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa. ⁴⁷The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. ⁴⁸This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. ⁴⁹So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by its borders; and Bani-Israel gave an inheritance to Yusha bin Nun in the midst of them: ⁵⁰according to the commandment of Allah they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill-country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived therein. ⁵¹These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Yusha bin Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of Bani-Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Allah, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
