30Umma, Acco, Aphek, and Rehob. There were 22 cities with their villages. 31These cities with their villages are the inheritance for the families of the tribe of Asher. The sixth lot was drawn for the families descended from the tribe of Naphtali. 33Their border starts from Heleph at the oak tree at Zaanannim.

It touches Zebulun in the south, Asher in the west, and Judah in the east at the Jordan.
