Zebulun’s Tribal Lands

10 The third lot belonged to the tribe of Zebulun[a] by its clans. The border of their territory[b] extended to Sarid. 11 Their border went up westward to Maralah and touched Dabbesheth and the valley near[c] Jokneam. 12 From Sarid it turned eastward[d] to the territory of Kisloth Tabor, extended to Daberath, and went up to Japhia. 13 From there it crossed eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin and extended to Rimmon, turning toward Neah. 14 It then turned on the north to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El. 15 Their territory included Kattah, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; in all they had twelve cities and their towns.[e] 16 This was the land assigned to the tribe of Zebulun[f] by its clans, including these cities and their towns.

Zebulun’s Inheritance

10 Now the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families. And the territory of their inheritance was as far as Sarid. 11 Then their border went up to the west and to Maralah; it then reached Dabbesheth and reached the [a]brook that is before Jokneam. 12 Then it turned from Sarid to the east toward the sunrise as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it went out to Daberath and [b]up to Japhia. 13 From there it passed on to the east toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and it went out to Rimmon [c]which curves to Neah. 14 And the border circled around it on the north to Hannathon, and [d]it ended at the valley of Iphtahel. 15 Included also were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages. 16 This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
