Joshua 19:1-19

1Then the second lot went to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families; and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah. 2So they had in their inheritance Beersheba or 1Sheba and Moladah, 3Hazar-shual, Balah, and Ezem, 4Eltolad, Bethul, and Hormah, 5Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, 6Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages; 7Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages; 8and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the 2Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families. 9The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, because the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of 3Judah’s inheritance.

10Now the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families. And the territory of their inheritance was as far as Sarid. 11Then their border went up to the west and to Maralah, and it reached Dabbesheth and reached to the 4brook that is opposite Jokneam. 12Then it turned from Sarid to the east toward the sunrise as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it proceeded to Daberath and 5up to Japhia. 13From there it continued eastward toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and it proceeded to Rimmon 6which stretches to Neah. 14Then the border circled around it on the north to Hannathon, and 7it ended at the Valley of Iphtahel. 15Included also were Kattah, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages. 16This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

17The fourth lot went to Issachar, to the sons of Issachar according to their families. 18Their territory was to Jezreel and included Chesulloth, 8Shunem, 19Hapharaim, Shion, and Anaharath,
