Joshua 19:32-39
New English Translation
Naphtali’s Tribal Lands
32 The sixth lot belonged to the tribe of Naphtali[a] by its clans. 33 Their border started at Heleph and the oak of Zaanannim, went to Adami Nekeb, Jabneel and on to Lakkum,[b] and ended at the Jordan River.[c] 34 It turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, extended from there to Hukok, touched Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and the Jordan[d] on the east. 35 The fortified cities included Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth, 36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, 37 Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor, 38 Yiron,[e] Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh. In all they had[f] nineteen cities and their towns. 39 This was the land assigned to the tribe of Naphtali[g] by its clans, including these cities and their towns.
