1And the second lot came out for the tribe of Simeon according to their families; and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. 2And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, Moladah, 3Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, 4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah, 6Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages. 7Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages. 8And all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramah in the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. 9Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore, the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of Judah.

10And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families; and the border of their inheritance was unto 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 toward the east to the border of Chisloth-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 to Neah; 14And the border compasses it on the north side to Hannathon; and the end of it in the valley of Iphtahel; 15And Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, 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.

17And the fourth lot came out for the children of Issachar according to their families. 18And their border was toward Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem, 19Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath, 20Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez, 21Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez; 22And the border reaches to Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh; and the end of their border was at the 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, Hali, Beten, Achshaph, 26Alammelech, Amad, and Mishal, and reaches to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath; 27And turns toward the east to Beth-dagon, and reaches to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtahel toward the north side of Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goes out to Cabul on the left hand, 28And Hebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Sidon; 29And then the border turns to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the border turns to Hosah; and the end thereof is at the sea from the border to Achzib; 30Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob; twenty-two cities with 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 for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 33And their border was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum; and the end thereof was at the Jordan. 34And then the border turns westward to 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 the Jordan toward the east. 35And the fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth, 36Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, 37Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor, 38Iron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages. 39This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the towns and their villages.

40And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. 41And the border of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh, 42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, 43Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon, 46Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Joppa. 47And the border 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 lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. 48This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

49When they had finished 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 word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked for, Timnath-serah in Mount Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived in it.

51These are the inheritances, which Eleazar, the priest, Joshua, and the heads of the fathers' houses 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 finished dividing the country.
