48 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Dan,(CD) according to its clans.

49 When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them, 50 as the Lord had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for—Timnath Serah[d](CE) in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there.
51 These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. And so they finished dividing(CF) the land.(CG)

Territorio de Simeón
19 La segunda suerte tocó[a] a Simeón, a la tribu de los hijos de Simeón conforme a sus familias, y su heredad estaba en medio de la heredad de los hijos de Judá. 2 (A)Y les correspondió[b] por heredad: Beerseba, Seba[c], Molada, 3 Hazar-sual, Bala, Ezem, 4 Eltolad, Betul, Horma, 5 Siclag, Bet-marcabot, Hazar-susa, 6 Bet-lebaot y Saruhén; trece ciudades con sus aldeas; 7 Aín, Rimón, Eter y Asán; cuatro ciudades con sus aldeas; 8 y todas las aldeas que estaban alrededor de estas ciudades hasta Baalat-beer[d], Ramat del Neguev[e]. Esta fue la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Simeón conforme a sus familias. 9 La heredad de los hijos de Simeón se tomó de la porción de los hijos de Judá, porque la porción de los hijos de Judá era demasiado grande para ellos; los hijos de Simeón recibieron, pues, heredad en medio de la heredad de Judá[f].
Territorio de Zabulón
10 La tercera suerte tocó[g] a los hijos de Zabulón conforme a sus familias. Y el territorio de su heredad llegaba hasta Sarid. 11 Y su límite subía hacia el occidente hasta Marala, tocaba a[h] Dabeset y llegaba hasta el arroyo que está frente a Jocneam. 12 Luego doblaba desde Sarid al oriente hacia la salida del sol hasta el límite de Quislot-tabor, seguía hasta Daberat y subía hasta Jafía. 13 Y desde allí continuaba al oriente hacia la salida del sol hasta Gat-hefer a Ita-cazín, y seguía hasta Rimón rodeando a Nea. 14 Y por el lado norte el límite la rodeaba hasta Hanatón y terminaba[i] en el valle del Jefte-el. 15 También estaban incluidas Catat, Naalal, Simrón, Idala y Belén; doce ciudades con sus aldeas. 16 Esta fue la heredad de los hijos de Zabulón conforme a sus familias; estas ciudades con sus aldeas.

17 La cuarta suerte tocó a Isacar, a los hijos de Isacar conforme a sus familias. 18 Y su territorio llegaba hasta[j] Jezreel e incluía Quesulot, Sunem(B), 19 Hafaraim, Sihón, Anaharat, 20 Rabit, Quisión, Abez, 21 Remet, En-ganim, En-hada y Bet-pases. 22 Y el límite llegaba hasta Tabor(C), Sahazima y Bet-semes y terminaba[k] en el Jordán; dieciséis ciudades con sus aldeas. 23 Esta fue la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Isacar conforme a sus familias; estas[l] ciudades con sus aldeas.
Territorio de Aser
24 La quinta suerte tocó a la tribu de los hijos de Aser conforme a sus familias. 25 Y su territorio fue: Helcat, Halí, Betén, Acsaf, 26 Alamelec, Amad y Miseal; y al occidente llegaba hasta el Carmelo y hasta Sihor-libnat. 27 Y doblaba hacia el oriente[m] hasta Bet-dagón, y llegaba hasta Zabulón y hacia el norte al valle del Jefte-el hasta Bet-emec y Neiel; entonces continuaba hacia el norte[n] hasta Cabul(D), 28 Hebrón, Rehob, Hamón y Caná, hasta la gran Sidón(E). 29 Y el límite doblaba hacia Ramá y la ciudad fortificada de Tiro; entonces el límite doblaba hacia Hosa y terminaba en el mar por la región de Aczib(F). 30 También estaban incluidas Uma, Afec y Rehob; veintidós ciudades con sus aldeas. 31 Esta fue la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Aser conforme a sus familias, estas ciudades con sus aldeas.
Territorio de Neftalí
32 La sexta suerte tocó a los hijos de Neftalí; a los hijos de Neftalí conforme a sus familias. 33 Y su límite era desde Helef, desde la encina de Saananim, Adami-neceb y Jabneel hasta Lacum; y terminaba en el Jordán. 34 Entonces el límite doblaba al occidente hacia Aznot-tabor, y de allí seguía a Hucoc; alcanzaba a Zabulón en el sur, tocaba a[o] Aser en el occidente y a Judá en el Jordán hacia el oriente[p]. 35 Y las ciudades fortificadas eran Sidim, Zer, Hamat(G), Racat, Cineret(H), 36 Adama, Ramá, Hazor, 37 Cedes, Edrei, En-hazor, 38 Irón, Migdal-el, Horem, Bet-anat y Bet-semes; diecinueve ciudades con sus aldeas. 39 Esta fue la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Neftalí conforme a sus familias; estas[q] ciudades con sus aldeas.
Territorio de Dan
40 La séptima suerte tocó a la tribu de los hijos de Dan conforme a sus familias. 41 Y el territorio de su herencia fue: Zora, Estaol, Irsemes, 42 Saalabín, Ajalón, Jetla, 43 Elón, Timnat, Ecrón, 44 Elteque, Gibetón, Baalat, 45 Jehúd, Bene-berac, Gat-rimón, 46 Mejarcón y Racón, con el territorio junto a Jope[r]. 47 Pero el territorio de los hijos de Dan continuaba más allá de estas[s]; porque los hijos de Dan subieron y lucharon contra Lesem y la capturaron(I). Y la hirieron a filo de espada, la poseyeron y se establecieron[t] en ella; y a Lesem la llamaron Dan, según el nombre de Dan su padre(J). 48 Esta fue la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Dan conforme a sus familias; estas ciudades con sus aldeas.
49 Cuando terminaron de repartir la tierra en heredad según sus límites, los hijos de Israel dieron heredad en medio de ellos a Josué, hijo de Nun. 50 De acuerdo con el mandato[u] del Señor le dieron la ciudad que él pidió, Timnat-sera, en la región montañosa de Efraín(K). Y él reconstruyó la ciudad y se estableció[v] en ella.
51 Estas son las heredades que el sacerdote Eleazar, Josué, hijo de Nun, y los jefes de las casas[w] de las tribus de los hijos de Israel repartieron por suertes en Silo, en presencia del Señor, a la entrada de la tienda de reunión. Así terminaron de repartir la tierra(L).

This was the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Simeon according to their clans. 9 (C)The inheritance of the people of Simeon formed part of the territory of the people of Judah. Because the portion of the people of Judah was too large for them, the people of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

Then the boundary turns to Hosah, and it ends at the sea; Mahalab,[a] Achzib, 30 Ummah, Aphek and Rehob—twenty-two cities with their villages. 31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Asher according to their clans—these cities with their villages.

The Inheritance for Joshua
49 When they had finished distributing the several territories of the land as inheritances, the people of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun. 50 By command of the Lord they gave him the city that he asked, (S)Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he rebuilt the city and settled in it.
51 (T)These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel distributed by lot (U)at Shiloh before the Lord, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.
