children of Simeon, according to their families.
And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moledah,

and Ziklag, and Bethmarkabath, and Hazersusa, and Bethlebeoth,
and Sharuhun, thirteen cities in their villages, Ain, Remen, and Ether,
and Ashen, four cities in their villages, and all the villages that were round about
these cities to Baalothbir, Ramoth of the south.
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon, according to their
families.
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.
And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun, according to their families.
And the border of their inheritance was unto Sarod.
And their border went up toward the sea, and Marillah, and reached to Dabasheth,
and reached to the river that is before Jochneum, and turned from Sarod eastward
toward the sun rising, under the border of Kisleth-Taber, and then goeth out to
Dabareth, and goeth up to Jephiah.
And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gedahephor, to Iddekezin,
and goeth out to Rem and Methaar, to Neah.
And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hanathun, and the outgoings
thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel, and Kadath, and Nahalal, and Shimron,

and Anganim, and Anhada, and Beth-paziz.
And the coast reaches to Tabor, and Shehazima, and Beth-shemesh.
And the outgoings of their border were at Jordan, sixteen cities with their

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar, according to
their families, the cities and their villages.
And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher, according to

And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre, and the coast

Umma also, and Aphek, and Rehob, twenty and two cities with their villages.
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher, according to their

The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of
Naphtali, according to their families.
And their coast was from Heliph, from Alan, to Zananim, and Adamai,

And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan, according to their
families.
And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtael, and Irshemesh,
and Sheolaben, and Ajlon, and Jethla, and Elon, and Timnathah, and Ekron,
and Eltika, and Gibethon, and Baalath, and Jehud, and Benibarek, and Gathrimmon,
and Majarkon, and Rakon, with the border before Japho.
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.
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan, according to their
families, these cities with their villages.
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.
According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked,
even Timnath-serah in Mount Ephraim, and he built the city and dwelt therein.
These are the inheritances which Eliezer 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 land for inheritance by lot.
And this is what happened in the land of Israel, and in the land of Israel,
and in the land of Israel, and in the land of Israel, and in the land of Israel.
