Joshua 13
1 Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Jehovah said
unto him, Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there remaineth
yet very much land to be possessed.
2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines,
and all the Geshurites;
3 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of
Ekron northward, which is reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords
of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites,
the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,
4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that
belongeth to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising,
from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of Hamath;
6 all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim,
even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children
of Israel: only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as
I have commanded thee.
7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine
tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
8 With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance,
which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses
the servant of Jehovah gave them:
9 from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and
the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain
of Medeba unto Dibon;
10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned
in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites,
and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salecah;
12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and
in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for
these did Moses smite, and drove them out.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites,
nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of
Israel unto this day.
14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings
of Jehovah, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance,
as he spake unto him.
15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according
to their families.
16 And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley
of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley,
and all the plain by Medeba;
17 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
18 and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
19 and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of
the valley,
20 and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,
21 and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon
king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with
the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba,
the princes of Sihon, that dwelt in the land.
22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children
of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain.
23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and
the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of
Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages
thereof.
24 And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad,
according to their families.
25 And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and
half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before
Rabbah;
26 and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim
unto the border of Debir;
27 and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth,
and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the
Jordan and the border thereof, unto the uttermost part of the sea
of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.
28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their
families, the cities and the villages thereof.
29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half-tribe of Manasseh: and
it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according
to their families.
30 And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom
of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan,
threescore cities:
31 and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the
kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son
of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according
to their families.
32 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains
of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.
33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah,
the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spake unto them.
Joshua 14
1 And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took
in the land of Canaan, 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, distributed unto them,
2 by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses,
for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the
half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance
among them.
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim:
and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities
to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their
substance.
5 As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and
they divided the land.
6 Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest
the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning
me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me
from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again
as it was in my heart.
8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of
the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.
9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy
foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children
for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.
10 And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these
forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word
unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo,
I am this day fourscore and five years old.
11 As yet I am as strong this day as I as in the day that Moses
sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for
war, and to go out and to come in.
12 Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof Jehovah spake
in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there,
and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with
me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake.
13 And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son
of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh
the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed Jehovah,
the God of Israel.
15 Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba; which Arba
was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from
war.
Joshua 15
1 And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to
their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness
of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.
2 And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt
Sea, from the bay that looketh southward;
3 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed
along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed
along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka;
4 and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt;
and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be
your south border.
5 And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of the
Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of
the sea at the end of the Jordan;
6 and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the
north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan
the son of Reuben;
7 and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and
so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent
of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border
passed along to the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof
were at En-rogel;
8 and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto
the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem); and
the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before
the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of
the vale of Rephaim northward;
9 and the border extended from the top of the mountain unto the
fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of
mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath-jearim);
10 and the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir,
and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north (the
same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along
by Timnah;
11 and the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and
the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah,
and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at
the sea.
12 And the west border was to the great sea, and the border thereof.
This is the border of the children of Judah round about according
to their families.
13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the
children of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua,
even Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak (the same is
Hebron).
14 And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir: now the
name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.
16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it,
to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it:
and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
18 And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him
to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass;
and Caleb said, What wouldest thou?
19 And she said, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in
the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave
her the upper springs and the nether springs.
20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah
according to their families.
21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah
toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, and Eder, and
Jagur,
22 and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
23 and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,
24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,
25 and Hazor-hadattah, and Kerioth-hezron (the same is Hazor),
26 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,
27 and Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet,
28 and Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Biziothiah,
29 Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem,
30 and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,
31 and Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,
32 and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities
are twenty and nine, with their villages.
33 In the lowland, Eshtaol, and Zorah, and Ashnah,
34 and Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam,
35 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,
36 and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen
cities with their villages.
37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad,
38 and Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,

with their villages.
42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,
43 and Iphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,
44 and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their

45 Ekron, with its towns and its villages;
46 from Ekron even unto the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod,
with their villages.
47 Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages;
unto the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof.
48 And in the hill-country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
49 and Dannah, and Kiriath-sannah (the same is Debir),
50 and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
51 and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages.
52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan,
53 and Janim, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah,
54 and Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), and Zior;
nine cities with their villages.
55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah,
56 and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,
57 Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages.
58 Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor,
59 and Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their
villages.
60 Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah; two cities
with their villages.
61 In the wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah,
62 and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with
their villages.
63 And as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children
of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with
the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
Joshua 16
1 And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan
at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness,
going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;
2 and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the
border of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto
the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings
out thereof were at the sea.
4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families
was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar,
unto Beth-horon the upper;
6 and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north;
and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed
along it on the east of Janoah;
7 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached
unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah;
and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance
of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
9 together with the cities which were set apart for the children
of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh,
all the cities with their villages.
10 And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but
the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and
are become servants to do taskwork.
Joshua 17
1 And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the
first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh,
the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he
had Gilead and Bashan.
2 So the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according
to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children
of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of
Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of
Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph
according to their families.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and
these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah,
Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua
the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded
Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according
to the commandment of Jehovah he gave them an inheritance among
the brethren of their father.
5 And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead
and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his
sons. And the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons
of Manasseh.
7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which
is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand,
unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border
of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
9 And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of
the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of
Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the
brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea:
10 southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's,
and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north,
and to Issachar on the east.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its
towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and
its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the
inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo
and its towns, even the three heights.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants
of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong,
that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive
them out.
14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast
thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing
I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed
me?
15 And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee
up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of
the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim
is too narrow for thee.
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough
for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley
have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns,
and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.
17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and
to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power;
thou shalt not have one lot only:
18 but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest,
thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine;
for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots
of iron, and though they are strong.
Joshua 18
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled
themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there:
and the land was subdued before them.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
which had not yet divided their inheritance.
3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack
to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers,
hath given you?
4 Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them,
and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it
according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me.
5 And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide
in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide
in their border on the north.
6 And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring
the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here
before Jehovah our God.
7 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood
of Jehovah is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe
of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward,
which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.
8 And the men arose, and went: and Joshua charged them that went
to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and
describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you
here before Jehovah in Shiloh.
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it
by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came to Joshua
unto the camp at Shiloh.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah: and there
Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to
their divisions.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up
according to their families: and the border of their lot went out
between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan; and
the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went
up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof
were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of
Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to
Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon
the nether.
14 And the border extended thence, and turned about on the west
quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon
southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal (the
same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was
the west quarter.
15 And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim;
and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of
the waters of Nephtoah;
16 and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain
that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the
vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom,
to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel;
17 and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went
out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and
it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;
18 and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward,
and went down unto the Arabah;
19 and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward;
and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt
Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south border.
20 And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This
was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders
thereof round about, according to their families.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according
to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,
22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their
villages:
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath,
and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance
of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
Joshua 19
1 And the second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of
the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance
was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah.
2 And they had for their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,
3 and Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Ezem,
4 and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5 and Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah,
6 and Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages:
7 Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages:
8 and all the villages that were round about 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.
9 Out of the part 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 inheritance
in the midst of their inheritance.
10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according
to their families; and the border of their inheritance was unto
Sarid;
11 and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached
to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam;
12 and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the
border of Chisloth-tabor; and it went out to Daberath, and went
up to Japhia;
13 and from thence it passed along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin;
and it went out at Rimmon which stretcheth unto Neah;
14 and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon; and
the goings out thereof were at the valley of Iphtah-el;
15 and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem:
twelve cities with their villages.
16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according
to their families, these cities with their villages.
17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children of
Issachar according to their families.
18 And their border was unto Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
19 and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,
20 and Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez,
21 and Remeth, and Engannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez,
22 and the border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh;
and the goings out of their border were at the Jordan: sixteen cities
with their villages.
23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar
according to their families, the cities with their villages.
24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher
according to their families.
25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
26 and Allammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel
westward, and to Shihor-libnath;
27 and it turned toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reached
to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah-el northward to Beth-emek
and Neiel; and it went out to Cabul on the left hand,
28 and Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great
Sidon;
29 and the border turned to Ramah, and to the fortified city of
Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah; and the goings out thereof
were at the sea by the region of Achzib;
30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with
their villages.
31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher
according to their families, these cities with their villages.
32 The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for
the children of Naphtali according to their families.
33 And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim,
and Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum; and the goings out thereof
were at the Jordan;
34 and the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out
from thence to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and
reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward
the sunrising.
35 And the fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath,
and Chinnereth,
36 and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
37 and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor,
38 And Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh;
nineteen cities with their villages.
39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
according to their families, the cities with their villages.
40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan
according to their families.
41 And the border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and
Ir-shemesh,
42 and Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah,
43 and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron,
44 and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
45 and Jehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon,
46 and Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa.
47 And the border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for
the children of Dan went up and fought 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.
48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according
to their families, these cities with their villages.
49 So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance
by the borders thereof; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance
to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:
50 according to the commandment of Jehovah they gave him the city
which he asked, even Timnath-serah in the hill-country of Ephraim;
and he built the city, and dwelt therein.
51 These 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, distributed for inheritance by lot in
Shiloh before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they
made an end of dividing the land.
