Joshua 19:1-51 NASB20 - Bible AI

¹Then the second lot went to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families; and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

²So they had in their inheritance Beersheba or [213]Sheba and Moladah,

³Hazar-shual, Balah, and Ezem,

⁴Eltolad, Bethul, and Hormah,

⁵Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah,

⁶Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;

⁷Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages;

⁸and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the [214]Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

⁹The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, because the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of [215]Judah’s inheritance.

Territory of Zebulun

¹⁰Now the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families. And the territory of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

¹¹Then their border went up to the west and to Maralah, and it reached Dabbesheth and reached to the [216]brook that is opposite Jokneam.

¹²Then it turned from Sarid to the east toward the sunrise as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it proceeded to Daberath and [217]up to Japhia.

¹³From there it continued eastward toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and it proceeded to Rimmon [218]which stretches to Neah.

¹⁴Then the border circled around it on the north to Hannathon, and [219]it ended at the Valley of Iphtahel.

¹⁵Included also were Kattah, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages.

¹⁶This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

Territory of Issachar

¹⁷The fourth lot went to Issachar, to the sons of Issachar according to their families.

¹⁸Their territory was to Jezreel and included Chesulloth, Shunem,

¹⁹Hapharaim, Shion, and Anaharath,

²⁰Rabbith, Kishion, and Ebez,

²¹Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez.

²²The border reached to Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and [220]their border ended at the Jordan; sixteen cities with their villages.

²³This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.

Territory of Asher

²⁴Now the fifth lot went to the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

²⁵Their territory was Helkath, Hali, Beten, and Achshaph,

²⁶Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel on the west and Shihor-libnath.

²⁷It turned toward the [221]east to Beth-dagon and reached Zebulun, and to the Valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel; then it proceeded on [222]north to Cabul,

²⁸Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Great Sidon.

²⁹The border turned to Ramah and to the fortified city of Tyre; then the border turned to Hosah, and [223]it ended at the sea by the region of Achzib.

³⁰Included also were Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob; twenty-two cities with their villages.

³¹This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

Territory of Naphtali

³²The sixth lot went to the sons of Naphtali; to the sons of Naphtali according to their families.

³³Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami-nekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and [224]it ended at the Jordan.

³⁴Then the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor and proceeded from there to Hukkok; and it reached Zebulun on the south and reached Asher on the west, and Judah at the Jordan toward the [225]east.

³⁵The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

³⁶Adamah, Ramah, and Hazor,

³⁷Kedesh, Edrei, and En-hazor,

³⁸Yiron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

³⁹This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.

Territory of Dan

⁴⁰The seventh lot went to the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families.

⁴¹The territory of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh,

⁴²Shaalabbin, Aijalon, and Ithlah,

⁴³Elon, Timnah, and Ekron,

⁴⁴Eltekeh, Gibbethon, and Baalath,

⁴⁵Jehud, Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon,

⁴⁶Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the territory opposite [226]Joppa.

⁴⁷The territory of the sons of Dan proceeded [227]beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and took possession of it and [228]settled in it; and they named [229]Leshem Dan after the name of their father Dan.

⁴⁸This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

⁴⁹When they finished apportioning the land for inheritance by its borders, the sons of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun.

⁵⁰In accordance with the [230]command of the LORD, they gave him the city for which he asked, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. So he built the city and [231]settled in it.

⁵¹These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned by lot in Shiloh before the LORD at the doorway of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.
