Territory of Simeon

1 Then the second lot 1fell 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.

2 So they had as their inheritance Beersheba or 1Sheba and Moladah,

9 The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, for the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of 1Judah’s inheritance.

28 and Ebron and Rehob and Hammon and Kanah, as far as Great aSidon.

29 The border turned to Ramah and to the fortified city of Tyre; then the border turned to Hosah, and 1it ended at the sea by the region of aAchzib.

33 Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim and Adami-nekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and 1it ended at the Jordan.

34 Then the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor and proceeded from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south and 1touched Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the 2east.

35 The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer and aHammath, Rakkath and bChinnereth,

36 and Adamah and Ramah and Hazor,

37 and Kedesh and Edrei and En-hazor,

45 and Jehud and Bene-berak and Gath-rimmon,

46 and Me-jarkon and Rakkon, with the territory over against 1Joppa.

47 The territory of the asons of Dan proceeded 1beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and possessed it and 2settled in it; and they called 3bLeshem Dan after the name of Dan their father.

48 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

49 When they finished apportioning the land for inheritance by its borders, the sons of Israel gave an inheritance in their midst to Joshua the son of Nun.

50 In accordance with the 1command of the Lord they gave him the city for which he asked, aTimnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. So he built the city and 2settled in it.

51 aThese are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the 1households of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed by lot in Shiloh before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.
