Asher

24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the descendants of Asher according to their clans.

25 Their border enclosed Helkath, Hali, Beten, Akshaph, 26 Allammelek, Amad, and Mishal, and it touches on Carmel on the west, and on Shihor Libnath.

27 Then it turns on the east to Beth Dagon and touches the territory of Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah El to the north, also Beth Emek, and Neiel.

Then it goes out to Kabul in the north, 28 to Ebron,[a] Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Great Sidon.

29 Then the border turns toward Ramah, to the fortified city of Tyre.

Then the border turns toward Hosah, and it ends at the sea.

It extends from Hebel[b] to Akzib, 30 Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob—twenty-two[c] cities and their villages.

31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Asher according to their clans—these cities and their villages.
