Joshua 19:10-16
New English Translation
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.

Land for Zebulun
10 The third ·part of the land [lot] was given to the tribe of Zebulun [C in southwestern Galilee, north of West Manasseh and east of the coastal tribe of Asher]. Each ·family group [clan] of Zebulun received some of the land. The border of Zebulun went as far as Sarid. 11 Then it went west to Maralah and ·came near [touched] Dabbesheth and then ·near [L the brook/valley in front of/east of] Jokneam. 12 Then it turned ·to the east [L eastward toward the sunrise]. It went from Sarid to the area of Kisloth Tabor and on to Daberath and ·to [L up to] Japhia. 13 It continued eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin, ending at Rimmon. There the border turned and went toward Neah. 14 At Neah it turned again and went to the north to Hannathon and continued to the Valley of Iphtah El. 15 Inside this border were the cities of Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve towns and their villages.
16 So these are the towns and the villages that were given to the ·family groups [clans] of Zebulun.
