  • Josh 15:1-9 : 1 The allotment for the tribe of the descendants of Judah, by their clans, extended to the southern boundary, reaching the Edom border and the Wilderness of Zin in the Negev at its southernmost point. 2 Their southern border began at the edge of the Salt Sea, from the southern bay of the sea. 3 The boundary moved southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, passed through Zin, went up from the south to Kadesh-barnea, passed to Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned toward Karkaa. 4 It then passed to Azmon and continued to the Brook of Egypt, with its boundary reaching the Mediterranean Sea. This was the southern boundary. 5 The eastern boundary was the Salt Sea, up to the mouth of the Jordan. The northern boundary started from the northern bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan. 6 The boundary went up to Beth-hoglah and passed north of Beth-arabah, then ascended to the stone of Bohan, son of Reuben. 7 The boundary ascended to Debir from the Valley of Achor and turned northward toward Gilgal, which faces the Ascent of Adummim, south of the valley. Then it went to the waters of En-shemesh and ended at En-rogel. 8 The boundary ascended by the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem). Then it went up to the top of the hill that overlooks the Valley of Hinnom to the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim. 9 From the top of the mountain, the boundary extended to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, went out to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then the boundary was marked out to Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim). 10 The boundary turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed by Timnah. 11 It continued to the northern slope of Ekron, turned toward Shikkeron, passed by Mount Baalah, and went on to Jabneel, ending at the sea. 12 The western boundary was the coastline of the Great Sea. This was the boundary around the clans of the descendants of Judah.
  • Josh 16:1-9 : 1 The lot for the sons of Joseph went out from the Jordan at Jericho, eastward to the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, and ascended from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel. 2 It went out from Bethel to Luz, passed over to the territory of the Archite at Ataroth. 3 It descended westward to the territory of the Japhletite, as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon, and on to Gezer, and it ended at the sea. 4 So the sons of Joseph—Manasseh and Ephraim—received their inheritance. 5 The territory of the sons of Ephraim according to their clans was as follows: The border of their inheritance on the east began at Ataroth-addar and extended to Upper Beth-horon. 6 The border went westward to Michmethath on the north, turned eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed east of Janohah. 7 It descended from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarah, reached Jericho, and ended at the Jordan. 8 From Tappuah, the border continued westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their clans. 9 Additionally, there were cities set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 10 However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day, but they became forced laborers.
  • Josh 19:1-9 : 1 The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the descendants of Simeon by their families. Their inheritance was within the inheritance of the descendants of Judah. 2 In their inheritance, they had Beersheba, Sheba, and Moladah, 3 Hazar-shual, Balah, and Azem, 4 Eltolad, Bethul, and Hormah, 5 Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, 6 Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities with their villages. 7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities with their villages, 8 and all the villages around these cities as far as Baalath-beer (Ramah of the Negev). This was the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Simeon by their families. 9 The inheritance of the descendants of Simeon was part of the territory of the descendants of Judah, because the portion for the descendants of Judah was too large for them. So the descendants of Simeon received an inheritance within Judah's territory.
