⁴⁸ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan, according to their families, these cities and their villages.

⁵¹ These are the heritages which Eleazar the Priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided by lot before the LORD in Shiloh, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. So they finished dividing the country.
