Joshua 19:32-51

32The sixth lot belonged to the tribe of Naphtali by its clans.

33Their border started at Heleph and the oak of Zaanannim, went to Adami Nekeb, Jabneel and on to Lakkum, and ended at the Jordan River.

34It turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, extended from there to Hukok, touched Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and the Jordan on the east.

35The fortified cities included Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth,

36Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

37Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor,

38Yiron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh. In all they had nineteen cities and their towns.

39This was the land assigned to the tribe of Naphtali by its clans, including the cities and their towns.

40The seventh lot belonged to the tribe of Dan by its clans.

41Their assigned land included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh,

42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

44Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

45Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon,

46the waters of Jarkon, and Rakkon, including the territory in front of Joppa.

47(The Danites failed to conquer their territory, so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it Dan after their ancestor.)

48This was the land assigned to the tribe of Dan by its clans, including these cities and their towns.

49When they finished dividing the land into its regions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun some land.

50As the Lord had instructed, they gave him the city he requested – Timnath Serah in the Ephraimite hill country. He built up the city and lived in it.

51These are the land assignments which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders made by drawing lots in Shiloh before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
