19 The Book of Joshua


1	And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
2	And they had in their inheritance Beer–sheba, or Sheba, and Mol’adah,
3	and Ha’zar–shu’al, and Balah, and Azem,
4	and Elto’lad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5	and Ziklag, and Beth–mar’caboth, and Ha’zar–su’sah,
6	and Beth–leba’oth, and Sharu’hen; thirteen cities and their villages:
7	A’in, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:
8	and all the villages that were round about these cities to Ba’alath–beer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. 1 Chr. 4.28-33
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 much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
10	¶ And the third lot came up for the children of Zeb’ulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:
11	and their border went up toward the sea, and Mar’alah, and reached to Dab’basheth, and reached to the river that is before Jok’ne-am;
12	and turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chis’loth–ta’bor, and then goeth out to Dab’erath, and goeth up to Japhi’a,
13	and from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah–he’pher, to It’tah–ka’zin, and goeth out to Rem’mon–metho’ar to Ne’ah;
14	and the border compasseth it on the north side to Han’nathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiph’thah–el:
15	and Kattath, and Na’hallal, and Shimron, and Id’alah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.
16	This is the inheritance of the children of Zeb’ulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
17	¶ And the fourth lot came out to Is’sachar, for the children of Is’sachar according to their families.
18	And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesul’loth, and Shunem,
19	and Haphra’im, and Shihon, and Ana’harath,
20	and Rabbith, and Kish’i-on, and Abez,
21	Remeth, and En–gan’nim, and En–had’dah, and Beth–paz’zez;
22	and the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazi’mah, and Beth–she’mesh; 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 Is’sachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.
24	¶ And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.
25	And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
26	and Alam’melech, and Amad, and Mish’eal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shi’hor–lib’nath;
27	and turneth toward the sunrising to Beth–da’gon, and reacheth to Zeb’ulun, and to the valley of Jiph’thah–el toward the north side of Beth–e’mek, and Nei’el, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,
28	and Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon;
29	and then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:
30	Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: 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.
32	¶ The sixth lot came out to the children of Naph’tali, even for the children of Naph’tali according to their families.
33	And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Za-anan’nim, and Ad’ami, Nekeb, and Jab’neel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:
34	and then the coast turneth westward to Aznoth–ta’bor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zeb’ulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.
35	And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chin’nereth,
36	and Ad’amah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
37	and Kedesh, and Ed’re-i, and En–ha’zor,
38	and Iron, and Mig’dal–el, Horem, and Beth–a’nath, and Beth–she’mesh; nineteen cities with their villages.
39	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naph’tali according to their families, the cities and their villages.
40	¶ And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.
41	And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshta’ol, and Ir–she’mesh,
42	and Sha-alab’bin, and Aj’alon, and Jethlah,
43	and Elon, and Thim’nathah, and Ekron,
44	and Elte’keh, and Gib’bethon, and Ba’alath,
45	and Jehud, and Bene–be’rak, and Gath–rim’mon,
46	and Me–jar’kon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.
47	And the coast 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 Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. Judg. 18.27-29
48	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
49	¶ When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave 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 Tim’nath–se’rah in mount E’phra-im: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.
51	¶ These are the inheritances, which Ele-a’zar 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 Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
