1 The second lot fell to Simeon, to the tribe of the children of Simeon, clan by clan. Their inheritance lay within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

8 and all the villages surrounding these towns as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon, clan by clan.
9 The inheritance of the children of Simeon came out of the share of the children of Judah, because Judah's share was more than they needed. So the children of Simeon received their inheritance within Judah's inheritance.
10 The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun, clan by clan. The boundary of their inheritance extended to Sarid.
11 It went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and touched the brook east of Jokneam.
12 From Sarid it ran the other way, east toward the sunrise, to the territory of Chisloth-tabor, continued to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.
13 From there it crossed eastward toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher and Eth-kazin, came out at Rimmon, and curved toward Neah.
14 On the north the boundary went around to Hannathon and came out at the Valley of Iphtah-el.
15 Included were Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve towns with their villages.
16 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the children of Zebulun, clan by clan.
17 The fourth lot fell to Issachar, to the children of Issachar, clan by clan.

19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,
20 Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,
21 Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez.
22 The boundary reached Tabor, Shahazimah, and Beth-shemesh and came out at the Jordan: sixteen towns with their villages.
23 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar, clan by clan.
24 The fifth lot fell to the tribe of the children of Asher, clan by clan.
25 Their territory comprised Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,
26 Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west it reached Carmel and Shihor-libnath.

28 Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.
29 The boundary then turned back toward Ramah and went to the fortified city of Tyre, turned toward Hosah, and came out at the sea in the region of Achzib.
30 Included were Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two towns with their villages.
31 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher, clan by clan.
32 The sixth lot fell to the children of Naphtali, clan by clan.
33 Their boundary ran from Heleph and the oak at Zaanannim, past Adami-nekeb and Jabneel to Lakkum, and came out at the Jordan.
34 On the west the boundary went back to Aznoth-tabor and from there to Hukkok. It reached Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and Judah at the Jordan on the east.
35 The fortified towns were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth,
36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

39 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, clan by clan.
40 The seventh lot fell to the tribe of the children of Dan, clan by clan.
41 The territory of their inheritance comprised Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh,
42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,
43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron,
44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,
45 Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon,
46 Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, along with the area facing Joppa.
47 But the territory of the children of Dan slipped away from them, so they went up and attacked Leshem. They captured it, put it to the sword, took possession of it, and settled there. They renamed Leshem Dan, after their ancestor Dan.
48 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan, clan by clan.
49 When they had finished dividing the land into its territories as an inheritance, the children of Israel gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them.
50 At the LORD's command they gave him the town he requested, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. He rebuilt the town and settled there.
51 These are the inheritances Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the children of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh before the LORD, at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So they completed the division of the land.
