19 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,

And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,

And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,

And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:

Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:

And all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:

11 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;

12 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,

13 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;

14 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:

15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

17 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.

18 And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,

19 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,

20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,

21 And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;

22 And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.

23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;

27 And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,

28 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon;

29 And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:

30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages.

31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

32 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

33 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:

34 And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.

35 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

37 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,

38 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

40 And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

41 And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,

42 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,

43 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

44 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

45 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,

46 And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.

47 And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, 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.

49 When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:

50 According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.

51 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.

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.

Esta fue la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Simeón conforme a sus familias. 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.

Territorio de Isacar

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).

The Territory of Naphtali

32 The sixth lot came out for the tribe of Naph′tali, for the tribe of Naph′tali, according to its families. 33 And its boundary ran from Heleph, from the oak in Za-anan′nim, and Ad′ami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; and it ended at the Jordan; 34 then the boundary turns westward to Az′noth-tabor, and goes from there to Hukkok, touching Zeb′ulun 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, Chin′nereth, 36 Ad′amah, Ramah, Hazor, 37 Kedesh, Ed′re-i, En-ha′zor, 38 Yiron, Mig′dal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-she′mesh—nineteen cities with their villages. 39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of Naph′tali according to its families—the cities with their villages.

Joshua’s Inheritance

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 which he asked, Tim′nath-se′rah in the hill country of E′phraim; and he rebuilt the city, and settled in it.

51 These are the inheritances which Elea′zar 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 at Shiloh before the Lord, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.
