Joshua 19
English Standard Version
The Inheritance for Simeon
19 The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the people of Simeon, according to their clans, (A)and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the people of Judah. 2 (B)And they had for their inheritance Beersheba, Sheba, Moladah, 3 Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, 4 Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5 Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah, 6 Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities with their villages; 7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities with their villages, 8 together with all the villages around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb. 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.
The Inheritance for Zebulun
10 The third lot came up for the people of Zebulun, according to their clans. And the territory of their inheritance reached as far as Sarid. 11 Then their boundary goes up (D)westward and on to Mareal and touches Dabbesheth, then the brook that is east of (E)Jokneam. 12 From Sarid it goes in the other direction eastward toward the sunrise to the boundary of Chisloth-tabor. From there it goes to Daberath, then up to Japhia. 13 From there it passes along on the east toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and going on to Rimmon it bends toward Neah, 14 then on the north the boundary turns about to Hannathon, and it ends at the Valley of Iphtahel; 15 and Kattath, Nahalal, (F)Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem—twelve cities with their villages. 16 This is the inheritance of the people of Zebulun, according to their clans—these cities with their villages.
The Inheritance for Issachar
17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, for the people of Issachar, according to their clans. 18 Their territory included Jezreel, Chesulloth, (G)Shunem, 19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath, 20 Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez, 21 Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, Beth-pazzez. 22 The boundary also touches Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and its boundary ends at the Jordan—sixteen cities with their villages. 23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Issachar, according to their clans—the cities with their villages.
The Inheritance for Asher
24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the people of Asher according to their clans. 25 Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph, 26 Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west it touches (H)Carmel and Shihor-libnath, 27 then it turns eastward, it goes to Beth-dagon, and touches Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel. Then it continues in the north to (I)Cabul, 28 Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, Kanah, as far as (J)Sidon the Great. 29 Then the boundary turns to Ramah, reaching to the fortified city of Tyre. 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 Naphtali
32 The sixth lot came out for the people of Naphtali, for the people of Naphtali, according to their clans. 33 And their boundary ran from Heleph, from (K)the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and it ended at the Jordan. 34 Then the boundary turns (L)westward to Aznoth-tabor and goes from there to Hukkok, touching Zebulun at the south and Asher on the west and Judah on the east at the Jordan. 35 The fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, (M)Chinnereth, 36 Adamah, Ramah, (N)Hazor, 37 Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor, 38 Yiron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh—nineteen cities with their villages. 39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Naphtali according to their clans—the cities with their villages.
The Inheritance for Dan
40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the people of Dan, according to their clans. 41 And the territory of its inheritance included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh, 42 (O)Shaalabbin, (P)Aijalon, Ithlah, 43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45 Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon, 46 and Me-jarkon and Rakkon with the territory over against (Q)Joppa. 47 When (R)the territory of the people of Dan was lost to them, the people of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and after capturing it and striking it with the sword they took possession of it and settled in it, calling Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor. 48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Dan, 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.

They called Leshem, (Y)Dan, after the name of Dan their father. 48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Joshua’s Inheritance
49 When they had [h]made an end of dividing the land as an inheritance according to their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun. 50 According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked for, (Z)Timnath (AA)Serah in the mountains of Ephraim; and he built the city and dwelt in it.
51 (AB)These were the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided as an inheritance by lot (AC)in Shiloh before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the country.

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. 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 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 Él. 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.
Territorio de Isacar
17 La cuarta suerte tocó a Isacar, a los hijos de Isacar conforme a sus familias. 18 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 Su territorio fue: Helcat, Halí, Betén, Acsaf, 26 Alamelec, Amad y Miseal. Su límite al occidente llegaba hasta el monte 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 Él 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 Después 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 Él, 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). 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 israelitas 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 fueron las heredades que el sacerdote Eleazar, Josué, hijo de Nun, y los jefes de las casas[w] de las tribus de los israelitas repartieron por suertes en Silo, en presencia del Señor, a la entrada de la tienda de reunión. Así terminaron de repartir la tierra(L).
