This is the heritage of the tribe of Simeon by their families. 9 The heritage of Simeon was taken out of Judah's stretch of land, for Judah's part was more than they had need of, so the heritage of the children of Simeon was inside their heritage. 10 And the third heritage came out for Zebulun by their families; the limit of their heritage was as far as Sarid; 11 And their limit goes up to the west to Maralah, stretching to Dabbesheth, and to the stream in front of Jokneam; 12 Then turning east from Sarid to the limit of Chisloth-tabor, it goes out to Daberath, and up to Japhia; 13 And from there it goes on east to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; ending at Rimmon which goes as far as Neah; 14 And the line goes round it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the valley of Iphtah-el; 15 And Kattath and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Beth-lehem; twelve towns with their unwalled places. 16 This is the heritage of the children of Zebulun by their families, these towns with their unwalled places. 17 For Issachar the fourth heritage came out, for the children of Issachar by their families; 18 And their limit was to Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem 19 And Hapharaim and Shion and Anaharath 20 And Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez 21 And Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez; 22 And their limit goes as far as Tabor and Shahazimah and Beth-shemesh, ending at Jordan; sixteen towns with their unwalled places. 23 This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Issachar by their families, these towns with their unwalled places. 24 And the fifth heritage came out for the tribe of Asher by their families. 25 And their limit was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Achshaph 26 And Alammelech and Amad and Mishal, stretching to Carmel on the west and Shihor-libnath; 27 Turning to the east to Beth-dagon and stretching to Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah-el as far as Beth-emek and Neiel to the north; on the left it goes as far as Cabul 28 And Ebron and Rehob and Hammon and Kanah, to great Zidon; 29 And the limit goes round to Ramah and the walled town of Tyre and Hosah, ending at the sea by Heleb and Achzib; 30 And Ummah and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two towns with their unwalled places. 31 This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Asher by their families, these towns with their unwalled places. 32 For the children of Naphtali the sixth heritage came out, for the children of Naphtali by their families; 33 And their limit was from Heleph, from the oak-tree in Zaanannim, and Adami-hannekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, ending at Jordan; 34 And turning west to Aznoth-tabor, the limit goes out from there to Hukkok, stretching to Zebulun on the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah at Jordan on the east. 35 And the walled towns are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth 36 And Adamah and Ramah and Hazor 37 And Kedesh and Edrei and En-Hazor 38 And Iron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen towns with their unwalled places.
