19:49 When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

19:51 These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. And so they finished dividing the land.

19:1 And the second lot came out for Simeon, 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.

19:9 Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon because the portion of the children of Judah was too large for them; thus the children of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

19:10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. And the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid;

19:11 And their border went up to the west, even to Maralah, and reached Dabbesheth; and it reached the brook that is before Jokneam.

19:12 And it turned from Sarid eastward toward the rising of the sun to the border of Chisloth-tabor, and went to Daberath and up to Japhia;

19:20 And Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez

19:21 And Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez;

19:22 And the border reached Tabor and Shahazumah and Beth-shemesh; and the end of their border was at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.

19:23 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.

19:24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

19:25 And their territory was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Achshaph

19:26 And Allammelech and Amad and Mishal; and it reached Carmel on the west and Shihor-libnath;

19:27 And it turned toward the rising of the sun to Beth-dagon, and reached Zebulun and the valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel, and went to Cabul on the north

19:28 And Ebron and Rehob and Hammon and Kanah as far as Great Sidon;

19:29 And the border turned to Ramah and as far as the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah; and its end was at the sea at the region of Achzib;

19:30 And Ummah and Aphek and Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages.

19:31 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

19:32 For the children of Naphtali the sixth lot came out, for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

19:33 And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami-nekeb and Jabneel unto Lakkum; and its end was the Jordan;

19:34 And the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went from there to Hukkok, and reached Zebulun on the south, and reached Asher on the west and Judah at the Jordan toward the rising of the sun;

19:35 And the fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath and Chinnereth

19:36 And Adamah and Ramah and Hazor

19:37 And Kedesh and Edrei and En-hazor

19:38 And Iron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh: nineteen cities with their villages.

19:39 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.

19:40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

19:41 And the territory of their inheritance was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh

19:42 And Shaalabbin and Aijalon and Ithlah

19:43 And Elon and Timnah and Ekron

19:44 And Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baalath

19:45 And Jehud and Bene-berak and Gath-rimmon

19:46 And Me-jarkon and Rakkon with the border opposite Japho.

19:47 When the territory of the children of Dan was lost to them, the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem; and they took it and struck it with the edge of the sword; and they took possession of it and inhabited it; and they called Leshem Dan, according to the name of Dan their father.

19:48 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

19:49 So they finished distributing the land as inheritances according to its borders. And the children of Israel gave Joshua the son of Nun an inheritance in the midst of them;

19:50 According to the commandment of Jehovah they gave him the city that he asked for, that is, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the city and dwelt in it.

19:51 These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel gave as inheritances by lot in Shiloh before Jehovah at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing the land.
