Context of Joshua 19:31

29Then the border turned towards Ramah, and it went as far as the strong city of Tyre. Then it turned to Hosah and it ended at the Mediterranean Sea. Their towns included Hebel, Aczib, 30Ummah, Aphek and Rehob. They received 22 towns and their villages. That was the land that Joshua gave to the families of Asher's tribe, as well as the towns and their villages. 32The sixth part of the land was for Naphtali's tribe, clan by clan. 33The border of their land went from Heleph and the big oak tree in Zaanannim. It went to Adami Nekeb and Jabneel, and it continued to Lakkum. It ended at the Jordan River.
