Joshua 19:1-19

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).

ThisH2063 was the inheritanceH5159 of the clansH4940 of the tribeH4294 of SimeonH8095. 9The inheritanceH5159 of the SimeonitesH8095H1121 was taken from the territoryH2256 of JudahH3063, becauseH3588 the shareH2506 for Judah’sH3063 descendantsH1121 wasH1961 too largeH7227 for them. So the SimeonitesH8095H1121 received an inheritanceH5159 withinH8432 Judah’s portionH5157.

10The thirdH7992 lotH1486 came upH5927 for the clansH4940 of the tribeH1121 of ZebulunH2074:

11The borderH1366 of their inheritanceH5159 stretchedH1961 as far asH5704 SaridH8301. It went upH5927 westwardH3220 to MaralahH4831, reachedH6293 DabbeshethH1708, and metH6293H413 the brookH5158 eastH5921H6440 of JokneamH3362. 12From SaridH8301 it turnedH7725 eastwardH6924H4217H8121 alongH5921 the borderH1366 of Chisloth-taborH3696 and wentH3318 on toH413 DaberathH1705 and upH5927 to JaphiaH3309. 13From thereH8033 it crossedH5674 eastwardH6924H4217 to Gath-hepherH1662 and to Eth-kazinH6278; it extendedH3318 to RimmonH7417 and curvedH8388 around toward NeahH5269. 14Then the borderH1366 circled aroundH5437 the north sideH6828 of Neah to HannathonH2615 and endedH1961H8444 at the ValleyH1516 of Iphtah-elH3317. 15It also included KattathH7005, NahalalH5096, ShimronH8110, IdalahH3030, and BethlehemH1035. There were twelveH8147H6240 citiesH5892, along with their villagesH2691.

16ThisH2063 was the inheritanceH5159 of the clansH4940 of the tribeH1121 of ZebulunH2074, including theseH428 citiesH5892 and their villagesH2691.

17The fourthH7243 lotH1486 came outH3318 for the clansH4940 of the tribeH1121 of IssacharH3485:

18Their territoryH1366 includedH1961 JezreelH3157, ChesullothH3694, ShunemH7766, 19HapharaimH2663, ShionH7866, AnaharathH588,
