Joshua 19
New King James Version
Simeon’s Inheritance with Judah
19 The (A)second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. (B)And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. 2 (C)They had in 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 and their villages; 7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan: four cities and their villages; 8 and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Baalath Beer, (D)Ramah of the South. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.
9 The inheritance of the children of Simeon was included in the share of the children of Judah, for the share of the children of Judah was [a]too much for them. (E)Therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of [b]that people.
The Land of Zebulun
10 The third lot came out for the children of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid. 11 (F)Their border went toward the west and to Maralah, went to Dabbasheth, and extended along the brook that is (G)east of Jokneam. 12 Then from Sarid it went eastward toward the sunrise along the border of Chisloth Tabor, and went out toward (H)Daberath, bypassing Japhia. 13 And from there it passed along on the east of (I)Gath Hepher, toward Eth Kazin, and extended to Rimmon, which borders on Neah. 14 Then the border went around it on the north side of Hannathon, and [c]it ended in the Valley of Jiphthah El. 15 Included were Kattath, Nahallal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. 16 This was the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
The Land of Issachar
17 The fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families. 18 And their territory went to Jezreel, and included Chesulloth, Shunem, 19 Haphraim, Shion, Anaharath, 20 Rabbith, Kishion, Abez, 21 Remeth, En Gannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez. 22 And the border reached to Tabor, Shahazimah, and (J)Beth Shemesh; their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. 23 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.
The Land of Asher
24 (K)The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. 25 And their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph, 26 Alammelech, Amad, and Mishal; it reached to (L)Mount Carmel westward, along the Brook Shihor Libnath. 27 It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon; and it reached to Zebulun and to the Valley of Jiphthah El, then northward beyond Beth Emek and Neiel, bypassing (M)Cabul which was on the left, 28 including [d]Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, (N)as far as Greater Sidon. 29 And the border turned to Ramah and to the fortified city of Tyre; then the border turned to Hosah, and ended at the sea by the region of (O)Achzib. 30 Also Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob were included: twenty-two cities with their villages. 31 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.
The Land of Naphtali
32 (P)The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 33 And their border began at Heleph, enclosing the territory from the terebinth tree in Zaanannim, Adami Nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; [e]it ended at the Jordan. 34 (Q)From Heleph the border extended westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there toward Hukkok; it adjoined Zebulun on the south side and Asher on the west side, and ended at Judah by the Jordan toward the sunrise. 35 And the fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth, 36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, 37 (R)Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor, 38 Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh: nineteen cities with their villages. 39 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.
The Land of Dan
40 (S)The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. 41 And the territory of their inheritance was Zorah, (T)Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh, 42 (U)Shaalabbin, (V)Aijalon, Jethlah, 43 Elon, Timnah, (W)Ekron, 44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45 Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon, 46 Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the region [f]near [g]Joppa. 47 And the (X)border of the children of Dan went beyond these, because the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and took it; and they struck it with the edge of the sword, took possession of it, and dwelt in it. 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.

Esa fue la heredad de la tribu de Simeón, por clanes; 9 una heredad que se tomó del lote asignado a la tribu de Judá, pues el territorio asignado a la tribu de Judá era demasiado grande para esta. Por eso la tribu de Simeón recibió su heredad dentro del territorio de la tribu de Judá.
Territorio de la tribu de Zabulón
10 El tercer lote correspondió a la tribu de Zabulón, por clanes. Su territorio se extendía hasta Sarid 11 y su frontera discurría por el oeste en dirección a Maralá, pasando por Dabéset y siguiendo el torrente que hay frente a Jocmeán. 12 De Sarid torcía hacia el este, hacia la salida del sol, hasta el término de Quislot Tabor; seguía luego hacia Daberat y subía a Jafiá. 13 Desde allí continuaba hacia el este, pasando por Guitá Jéfer y por Itacasín; luego tomaba la dirección de Rimón y torcía hacia Neá. 14 La frontera continuaba por el norte hacia Janatón e iba a salir al valle de Jiftajel. 15 Su territorio comprendía también, Catat, Nahalal, Simerón, Jidalá y Belén: un total de doce ciudades con sus aldeas. 16 Esa fue la heredad de los descendientes de Zabulón, por clanes, con sus ciudades y sus aldeas.

Territorio de la tribu de Aser
24 El quinto lote le correspondió a la tribu de Aser, por clanes. 25 Su territorio comprendía: Jelcat, Jalí, Beten, Axaf, 26 Alamélec, Amad y Misal. La frontera, por el oeste, llegaba al Carmelo hasta el río Libnat; 27 torcía hacia el este hasta Bet Dagón y llegaba por el norte hasta el territorio de Zabulón y el valle de Jiftajel; continuaba hasta Bet Emec y Neyel, para terminar por la izquierda en Kabul, 28 Abdón, Rejob, Jamón, Caná y Sidón la Grande. 29 La línea fronteriza giraba luego hacia Ramá llegando hasta la plaza fuerte de Tiro; de allí continuaba hasta Josá y terminaba en el mar, incluyendo Majaleb, Aczib, 30 Aco, Afec y Rejob: un total de veintidós ciudades con sus aldeas. 31 Esa fue la heredad de la tribu de los descendientes de Aser, por clanes, con sus ciudades y sus aldeas.
Territorio de la tribu de Neftalí
32 A los descendientes de Neftalí, por clanes, les correspondió el sexto lote. 33 Su frontera discurría desde Jélef y la Encina de Sananín, desde Adamí Néqueb y Jabnel hasta Lacún terminando en el Jordán. 34 Torcía luego hacia el oeste por Aznot Tabor llegando hasta Jucoc; lindaba con Zabulón al sur, con Aser al oeste y con el Jordán al este. 35 Y las ciudades fuertes eran: Asidín, Ser, Jammat, Racat, Kinéret, 36 Adamá, Ramá y Jasor; 37 Cadés, Edreí, En Jasor, 38 Jirón, Migdalel, Jorén, Bet Anat y Bet Semes: un total de diecinueve ciudades con sus aldeas. 39 Esa fue la heredad de los descendientes de Neftalí, por clanes, con sus ciudades y sus aldeas.
Territorio de la tribu de Dan
40 A la tribu de Dan, por clanes, le correspondió el séptimo lote. 41 El territorio de su heredad comprendía: Sorá, Estaol e Ir Semes; 42 Salabín, Ayalón y Jitlá; 43 Elón, Timná y Ecrón; 44 Eltequé, Guibetón y Balat; 45 Jeud, Bené Beraq, Gat Rimón 46 y Meyarcón con el territorio enfrente de Jope.
47 Pero a la tribu de Dan le resulto demasiado incómodo su territorio. Por eso, los descendientes de Dan decidieron atacar a Lesen; la conquistaron y la pasaron a cuchillo. Una vez conquistada la ciudad, se establecieron en ella. Y a Lesen la llamaron Dan, en recuerdo del nombre de su antepasado Dan. 48 Esa fue la heredad de la tribu de Dan, por clanes, con sus ciudades y sus aldeas.
49 Y se dio por terminado el sorteo del país con sus fronteras. A Josué, hijo de Nun, los israelitas le dieron una heredad en medio de ellos. 50 Según la orden del Señor, le dieron la ciudad de Timná Séraj, en la montaña de Efraín, tal como él había pedido. Reconstruyó la ciudad y se estableció en ella.
51 Esas son las heredades que el sacerdote Eleazar, con Josué, hijo de Nun, y los cabezas de familia sortearon entre las tribus de Israel en Siló, en presencia del Señor, a la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro. Fue así como se llevó a cabo el reparto de la tierra.

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.

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.

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 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.
