Joshua 19:32-51

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.

39This was the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali’s descendants by their clans, the cities with their settlements.

40The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan’s descendants by their clans.

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

42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

44Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

45Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon,

46Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the territory facing Joppa.

47When the territory of the descendants of Dan slipped out of their control, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and struck it down with the sword. So they took possession of it, lived there, and renamed Leshem after their ancestor Dan.

48This was the inheritance of the tribe of Dan’s descendants by their clans, these cities with their settlements.

49When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them.

50By the Lord’s command, they gave him the city Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, which he requested. He rebuilt the city and lived in it.

51These were the portions that the priest Eleazar, Joshua son of Nun, and the family heads distributed to the Israelite tribes by lot at Shiloh in the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
