Joshua 19:10-39

10The third lot came up for Zebulun’s descendants by their clans. The territory of their inheritance stretched as far as Sarid;

11their border went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam.

12From Sarid, it turned due east along the border of Chisloth-tabor, went to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.

13From there, it went due east to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon, curving around to Neah.

14The border then circled around Neah on the north to Hannathon and ended at Iphtah-el Valley,

15along with Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem — twelve cities, with their settlements.

16This was the inheritance of Zebulun’s descendants by their clans, these cities, with their settlements.

17The fourth lot came out for the tribe of Issachar’s descendants by their clans.

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

19Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,

20Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

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

22The border reached Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and ended at the Jordan — sixteen cities, with their settlements.

23This was the inheritance of the tribe of Issachar’s descendants by their clans, the cities, with their settlements.

24The fifth lot came out for the tribe of Asher’s descendants by their clans.

25Their boundary included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,

26Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal and reached westward to Carmel and Shihor-libnath.

27It turned eastward to Beth-dagon, reached Zebulun and Iphtah-el Valley, north toward Beth-emek and Neiel, and went north to Cabul,

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

29The boundary then turned to Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre; it turned back to Hosah and ended at the Mediterranean Sea, including Mahalab, Achzib,

30Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob — twenty-two cities, with their settlements.

31This was the inheritance of the tribe of Asher’s descendants by their clans, these cities with their settlements.

32The sixth lot came out for Naphtali’s descendants by their clans.

33Their boundary went from Heleph and from the oak in Zaanannim, including Adami-nekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and ended at the Jordan.

34To the west, the boundary turned to Aznoth-tabor and went from there to Hukkok, reaching Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and Judah at the Jordan on the east.

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

36Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

37Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor,

38Iron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh — nineteen cities, with their settlements.
