King James Bible: Purple Letter EditionERP 
1And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children 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, and Moladah, 3And Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Ezem, 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, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages. 8And all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramah in the Negev {of 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 {part} of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

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 eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, 13And from there passeth on along on the east to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and goeth out to Rimmon to Neah; 14And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon; and the end of it {outgoings thereof are} in the valley of Iphtahel; 15And Kattath, and Nahalal, 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.

17And the 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 Ebez, 21And Remeth, and En-gannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez; 22And the border reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh; and the end {outgoings} 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, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, 26And Alammelech, and Amad, and Mishal, and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath; 27And turneth toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtahel toward the north side of Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand, 28And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Sidon; 29And then the border turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the border turneth to Hosah; and the end {outgoings} thereof is at the sea from the border to Achzib; 30Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob; twenty and 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 the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 33And their border was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum; and the end {outgoings} thereof was at the Jordan. 34And then the border turneth westward to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from there to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon the Jordan toward the sunrising. 35And the fortified {fenced} 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 with their villages. 39This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities 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, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh, 42And Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah, 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 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 dwelt 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 {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 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 in it {therein}.

51These are the inheritances, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, 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 {made an end of} dividing the country.
