1The secondH8145 lotH1486 came outH3318 for the clansH4940 of the tribeH4294 of SimeonH8095:

2Their inheritanceH5159 layH1961 withinH8432 the territoryH5159 of JudahH3063 and includedH5159 BeershebaH884 (or ShebaH7652), MoladahH4137, 3Hazar-shualH2705, BalahH1088, EzemH6107, 4EltoladH513, BethulH1329, HormahH2767, 5ZiklagH6860, Beth-marcabothH1024, Hazar-susahH2701, 6Beth-lebaothH1034, and SharuhenH8287—thirteenH7969H6240 citiesH5892, along with their villagesH2691. 7AinH5871, RimmonH7417, EtherH6281, and AshanH6228—fourH702 citiesH5892, along with their villagesH2691, 8and allH3605 the villagesH2691 surroundingH5439 theseH428 citiesH5892 asH5704 far as Baalath-beerH1192 (RamahH7414 of the NegevH5045).
