Joshua 19:1-19

1The second lot was drawn for the families of the tribe of Simeon. Their inheritance was within Judah.

2In their inheritance they received 13 cities and their villages: Beersheba (Sheba), Moladah,

3Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem,

4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,

5Ziklag, Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susah,

6Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen.

7There were four other cities with their villages: Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan.

8All the villages around these cities as far as Baalath Beer and Ramath Negev were also included. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon for its families.

9Simeon’s inheritance was a part of Judah’s because Judah had more land than it needed. So Simeon received its inheritance inside Judah’s borders.

10The third lot was drawn for the families descended from Zebulun. The border of their inheritance goes as far as Sarid.

11Toward the west the border ascends to Maralah and touches Dabbesheth and the river near Jokneam.

12But from Sarid it turns directly east toward the border of Chisloth Tabor, on to Daberath, and then ascends toward Japhia.

13From there it goes directly east to Gath Hepher, Eth Kazin, and Rimmon, where it turns to Neah.

14There the border turns north to Hannathon and ends at the valley of Iphtah El.

15This also includes Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were 12 cities with their villages.

16These cities with their villages are the inheritance given to the families descended from Zebulun.

17The fourth lot was drawn for the families descended from Issachar.

18Their territory included Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem,

19Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,
