Context of Joshua 19:12
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. But 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.
