9 Out of the portion of the sons of Judah, is the inheritance of the sons of Simeon,for it came to pass that what was allotted to the sons of Judah, was too much for them, therefore did the sons of Simeon receive an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.
10 Then came up the third lot, for the sons of Zebulun, by their families,and the boundary of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

28 and Ebron and Rehob, and Hammon and Kanah,as far as Zidon the populous;
29 and the boundary turneth to Ramah, and as far as the city of the fortress of Tyre,then the boundary turneth to Hosah, and so the extensions thereof are, on the west, from Hebel to Achzib;
30 Ummah also and Aphek, and Rehob,twenty-two cities, with their villages,
31 This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher, by their families,these cities, with their villages.
32 For the sons of Naphtali, came out the sixth lot,for the sons of Naphtali, by their families.
33 And their boundary was from Heleph, from the terebinth of Bezaannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; and so the extensions thereof were to the Jordan;
34 and the boundary turneth westward, to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from thence, toward Hukkok,and toucheth Zebulun on the south, and, Asher, it toucheth on the west, and Judah, at the Jordan towards sunrise.
35 And, the fortified cities, are,Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath and Chinnereth,
36 and Adamah and Ramah, and Hazor,
37 and Kedesh and Edrei, and En-hazor,

47 And, when the boundary of the sons of Dan went out beyond these, then went up the sons of Dan and fought against Leshem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and took possession thereof, and dwelt therein, and they called LeshemDan, after the name of Dan their father,
48 This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan, by their families,these cities, with their villages.
49 When they had made an end of distributing the land by the boundaries thereof, then gave the sons of Israel an inheritance unto Joshua son of Nun, in their midst:
50 at the bidding of Yahweh, gave they unto him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah, in the hill country of Ephraim,and he built the city and dwelt therein.
51 These, are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and the ancestral heads distributed for inheritance to the tribes of the sons of Israel, by lot, in Shiloh, before Yahweh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting,so they made an end of apportioning the land.
