Joshua 19
A Faithful Version

1And the second lot came forth to Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. And their inheritance was inside the inheritance of the children of Judah. 2And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, 3And Hazar Shual, and Balah, and Azem, 4And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, 5And Ziklag, and Beth Marcaboth, and Hazar Susah, 6And Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen-- thirteen cities and their villages; 7Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan--four cities and 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. 9The inheritance of the children of Simeon was out of the portion of the children of Judah, for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them; therefore, the children of Simeon had their inheritance within their inheritance.

10And the 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 toward the sea and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam, 12And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of The Flames of Tabor, and then goes out to Daberath, and goes up to Japhia, 13And from there it passes on along on the east to Gath Hepher, to Eth Kazin, and goes out to Rimmon Methoar, to Neah. 14And the border compasses it on the north side to Hannathon. And its edges were in the valley of Jiphthah El, 15And Kattath, and Nahallal, 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 to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families. 18And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, 19And Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath, 20And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, 21And Remeth, and En Gannim, and En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez. 22And the border reaches to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Beth Shemesh. And the edges of their border were at Jordan-- sixteen cities with their villages. 23This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

24And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. 25And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, 26And Alammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and reaches to Carmel westward, and to Shihor Libnath; 27And turns toward the sunrising to Beth Dagon, and reaches to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthah El toward the north of Beth Emek, and Neiel, and goes out to Cabul on the left hand, 28And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, to great Sidon; 29And the border turns to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre. And the border turns to Hosah, and the boundaries of it are at the sea from the line to Achzib, 30And Ummah, and Aphek, and Rehob-- twenty-two cities and 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 to the children of Naphtali, for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 33And their border was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakum. And its boundaries were at Jordan. 34And the border turns west toward Aznoth Tabor, and goes out from there to Hukkok, and reaches to Zebulun on the south side, and reaches to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrise. 35And the fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, 36And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, 37And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En Hazor, 38And Iron, and Migdal El, Horem, and Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh-- nineteen cities and their villages. 39This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

40The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. 41And the border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir Shemesh, 42And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah, 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 before Japho. 47And the border of the children of Dan came out too little for them. And the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived in it. And they called Leshem Dan after the name of their father Dan. 48This is the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, by their families, these cities and their villages.

49When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them. 50According to the command of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, Timnath Serah on Mount Ephraim. And he built the city and lived in it.

51These are the inheritances which Eleazar 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. And they finished dividing the land.
