Joshua’s Inheritance
49 When they had finished distributing the several territories of the land as inheritances, the Israelites gave an inheritance among them to Joshua son of Nun. 50 By command of the Lord they gave him the town that he asked for, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim; he rebuilt the town, and settled in it.
51 These are the inheritances that the priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the families of the tribes of the Israelites distributed by lot at Shiloh before the Lord, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.

This was the land assigned to the tribe of Simeon by its clans.[d] 9 Simeon’s assigned land was taken from Judah’s allotted portion, for Judah’s territory was too large for them; so Simeon was assigned land within Judah.[e]

The border of their territory[g] extended to Sarid. 11 Their border went up westward to Maralah and touched Dabbesheth and the valley near[h] Jokneam. 12 From Sarid it turned eastward[i] to the territory of Kisloth Tabor, extended to Daberath, and went up to Japhia. 13 From there it crossed eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin and extended to Rimmon, turning toward Neah. 14 It then turned on the north to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El. 15 Their territory included Kattah, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; in all they had twelve cities and their towns.[j] 16 This was the land assigned to the tribe of Zebulun[k] by its clans, including these cities and their towns.

In all they had[r] twenty-two cities and their towns. 31 This was the land assigned to the tribe of Asher[s] by its clans, including these cities and their towns.
Naphtali’s Tribal Lands
32 The sixth lot belonged to the tribe of Naphtali[t] by its clans. 33 Their border started at Heleph and the oak of Zaanannim, went to Adami Nekeb, Jabneel and on to Lakkum,[u] and ended at the Jordan River.[v] 34 It turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, extended from there to Hukok, touched Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and the Jordan[w] on the east. 35 The fortified cities included Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth, 36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, 37 Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor, 38 Yiron,[x] Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh.

They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it[ac] Dan after their ancestor.[ad]) 48 This was the land assigned to the tribe of Dan[ae] by its clans, including these cities and their towns.
Joshua Receives Land
49 When they finished dividing the land into its regions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun some land.[af] 50 As 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.
51 These are the land assignments that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders[ag] made by drawing lots in Shiloh before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting.[ah] So they finished dividing up the land.
