and all of the villages that {were} around these cities unto Baalath Beer (Ramah of the Negev). This {was} the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their clans.
From the portion of the sons of Judah {was} the inheritance of the sons of Simeon. For the division of the sons of Judah was {too} great for them, so the sons of Simeon inherited in the midst of their inheritance. \*
And the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their clans. And the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid.
And their border went up toward the sea and Maralah, and it met with Dabbesheth and met with the wadi that {is} on the face of Jokneam. \*
And it turned eastward from Sarid, {toward} the rising of the sun, upon the border of Kisloth Tabor. And it went out to Daberath and went up {to} Japhia.
And from there it passed over eastward, toward the sunrise, {to} Gath Hepher, {to} Eth Kazin. And it went out {to} Rimmon, being turned {toward} Neah. \*
And the border went around it from the north of Hannathon, and its goings out were {at} the Valley of Iphtah El.
And Kattath and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem: 12 cities and their villages.
This {was} the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their clans, these cities, and their villages. \*

and Remeth and En Gannim and En Haddah and Beth Pazzez. \*
And the border met with Tabor and Shahazumah and Beth Shemesh. And the goings out of their border were {at} the Jordan: 16 cities and their villages.

And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their clans.
And their border {was} Helkath and Hali and Beten and Akshaph
and Allammelek and Amad and Mishall. And it met with Carmel seaward and with Shihor Libnath. \*
And it turned {toward} the rising of the sun {to} Beth Dagon, and it met with Zebulun and with the Valley of Iphtah El northward, {to} Beth Emek and Neiel. And it went out to Cabul from the left,
and Abdon and Rehob and Hammon and Kanah, unto Great Sidon. \*
And the border turned {toward} Ramah and unto the city of fortification of Tyre. Then the border turned {to} Hosah, and its goings out were seaward, from the portion of Akzib
and Ummah and Aphek and Rehob: 22 cities and their villages.
This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their clans, these cities, and their villages. \*
The sixth lot came out for the sons of Naphtali, for the sons of Napthali according to their clans.
And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami Nekeb and Jabneel, unto Lakkum. And its goings out were {at} the Jordan.
And the border turned seaward {to} Aznoth Tabor and went out from there {to} Hukkoh. And it met with Zebulun from the south, and it met with Asher from the sea and with Judah {at} the Jordan {toward} the rising of the sun. \*
And the cities of fortification {were} Ziddim, Zer and Hammath, Rakkath and Chinnereth
and Adamah and Ramah and Hazor
and Kedesh and Edrei and En Hazor \*
and Yiron and Migdal El, Horem and Beth Anath and Beth Shemesh: 19 cities and their villages.
This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali according to their clans, the cities, and their villages. \*
The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their clans.
And the border of their inheritance was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir Shemesh
and Shaalabbin and Aijalon and Ithlah \*
and Elon and Timnah and Ekron
and Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baalath
and Jehud and Bene Berak and Gath Rimmon
and Me Jarkon and Rakkon with the border in front of Joppa. \*
But the border of the sons of Dan went out from them. So the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it, and they struck it to the mouth of the sword. And they possessed it and settled in it and called {it} Leshem Dan, like the name of their father Dan.
This {was} the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their clans, these cities and their villages. \*
And they finished inheriting the land according to its borders. And the sons of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them.
Upon the mouth of God, they gave to him the city that he requested, Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built the city and dwelled in it. \*
These {are} the inheritances that Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel gave as an inheritance by lot in Shiloh to the face of God at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. And they finished from dividing the land. \*
