8 Simeon's land also included all the other towns and villages as far south as Baalath-Beer, which is also called Ramah of the South.
9 Simeon's tribal land was actually inside Judah's territory. Judah had received too much land for the number of people in its tribe, so part of Judah's land was given to Simeon.
Zebulun's Land
10-12 Zebulun was the third tribe chosen to receive land. The southern border for its clans started in the west at the edge of the gorge near Jokneam. It went east to the edge of the land that belongs to the town of Dabbesheth, and continued on to Maralah and Sarid. It took in the land that belongs to Chislothtabor, then ended at Daberath.
The eastern border went up to Japhia 13 and continued north to Gath-Hepher, Ethkazin, and Rimmonah, where it curved toward Neah 14 and became the northern border. Then it curved south around Hannathon and went as far west as Iphtahel Valley.
15 Zebulun had twelve towns with their surrounding villages. Some of these were Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Jiralah, and Bethlehem.
16 This is the tribal land, and these are the towns and villages of the Zebulun clans.
Issachar's Land
17-23 Issachar was the fourth tribe chosen to receive land. The northern border for its clans went from Mount Tabor east to the Jordan River. Their land included the following 16 towns with their surrounding villages:

Asher's Land
24-26 Asher was the fifth tribe chosen to receive land, and the region for its clans included the following towns:
Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph, Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal.
Asher's southern border ran from the Mediterranean Sea southeast along the Shihor-Libnath River at the foot of Mount Carmel, 27 then east to Beth-Dagon. On the southeast, Asher shared a border with Zebulun along the Iphtahel Valley. On the eastern side their border ran north to Beth-Emek, went east of Cabul, and then on to Neiel, 28 Abdon, Rehob, Hammon, Kanah, and as far north as the city of Sidon. 29-31 Then it turned west to become the northern border and went to Ramah and the fortress-city of Tyre. Near Tyre it turned toward Hosah and ended at the Mediterranean Sea.
Asher had a total of 22 towns with their surrounding villages, including Mahalab, Achzib, Acco, Aphek, and Rehob.
Naphtali's Land
32-34 Naphtali was the sixth tribe chosen to receive land. The southern border for its clans started in the west, where the tribal lands of Asher and Zebulun meet near Hukkok. From that point it ran east and southeast along the border with Zebulun as far as Aznoth-Tabor. From there the border went east to Heleph, Adami-Nekeb, Jabneel, then to the town called Oak in Zaanannim, and Lakkum. The southern border ended at the Jordan River, at the edge of the town named Jehudah. Naphtali shared a border with Asher on the west.
35-39 The Naphtali clans received this region as their tribal land, and it included 19 towns with their surrounding villages. The following towns had walls around them:
Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth, Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, Kedesh, Edrei, Enhazor, Iron, Migdalel, Horem, Beth-Anath, and Beth-Shemesh.

Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-Shemesh, Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, Elon, Timnah, Ekron, Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, Jehud, Azor, Beneberak, Gath-Rimmon, Mejarkon, and Rakkon.
Dan's tribal land went almost as far as Joppa. 47-48 Its clans received this land and these towns with their surrounding villages.
Later, when enemies forced them to leave their tribal land, they went to the town of Leshem. They attacked the town, captured it, and killed the people who lived there. Then they settled there themselves and renamed the town Dan after their ancestor.
Joshua's Land
49-51 The Israelites were still gathered in Shiloh in front of the sacred tent, when Eleazar the priest, Joshua, and the family leaders of Israel finished giving out the land to the tribes. The Lord had told the people to give Joshua whatever town he wanted. So Joshua chose Timnath-Serah in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people gave it to him. Joshua went to Timnath-Serah, rebuilt it, and lived there.
1 Un otri mesli krita Simeonam, Simeona bērnu ciltij, pēc viņu dzimtām; un viņiem krita īpašuma daļa Jūdas bērnu īpašumu vidū. 2 Un viņu īpašums bija: Bēršeba, Šeba un Molada, 3 Hacar-Šuala, Bela un Ecema, 4 Eltolada, Betula un Horma, 5 Ciklaga, Bet-Markabota un Hacar-Sūsa, 6 Bet-Lebaota, kā arī Šaruhena - pavisam kopā trīspadsmit pilsētas ar to ciemiem; 7 Ajina, Rimona, Etera un Ašana - četras pilsētas ar ciemiem, 8 un visi ciemi šo pilsētu apgabalā līdz Baalat-Beērai un dienvidzemes Ramatai; šis bija Simeona bērnu cilts īpašums pēc viņu dzimtām. 9 No Jūdas bērnu daļas radās Simeona bērnu īpašums, jo Jūdas bērnu īpašuma daļa tiem bija par lielu, tāpēc arī Simeona bērni ieguva savu īpašumu Jūdas bērnu īpašuma vidū. 10 Un trešie mesli krita Zebulona bērniem pēc viņu dzimtām, un viņu daļas robeža stiepjas līdz Sarīdai. 11 Viņu robeža iet uz rietumiem augšup pret Marelu, tad tā pieskaras Dabešetai un pieiet pie upes, kas tek austrumos no Jokneāmas. 12 Un no Sarīdas tā pagriežas pret austrumiem, pret saules lēktu, uz Kislot-Tāboras novadu, virzās tālāk uz Daberatu un stiepjas augšup uz Jafiju. 13 No turienes tā iet uz austrumiem, pret saules lēktu, pāri uz Gat-Heferu un Et-Kazīnu un iznāk pie Rimona, aizsniegdama Neu. 14 Un šai vietai robeža iet apkārt ziemeļos no Hanatonas, un tā beidzas Jiftahēlas ielejā. 15 Vēl Katata, Nahalala, Šimrona, Jidala un Bētleme; divpadsmit pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 16 Šī ir Zebulona bērnu īpašuma daļa pēc viņu dzimtām, šīs pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 17 Un ceturtie mesli krita Isašaram, Isašara bērniem pēc viņu dzimtām. 18 Un viņu robežās bija: Jezreēla, Kesulota un Šunāma, 19 Hafaraima, Šiona un Anaharata, 20 Rabita, Kišiona un Ebeca, 21 Remeta, Ajin-Ganima, Ajin-Hada un Bet-Paceca. 22 Viņu robeža pieskaras Tābora kalnam un Šahazimai un Bet-Šemešai, un viņu robežas gals iziet pie Jordānas; sešpadsmit pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 23 Šis ir Isašara bērnu cilts īpašums pēc viņu dzimtām, pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 24 Tad piektie mesli krita Ašera bērnu ciltij pēc viņu dzimtām. 25 Viņu robeža gāja uz Helkatu, Haliju, Betenu, Akšafu, 26 Alameleku, Amgadu un Mišelu un pieskaras rietumos Karmelam un tālāk Libnatas strautam, 27 un tad tā griežas atpakaļ pret austrumiem uz Bet-Dagonu un pieskaras Zebulona apgabalam un Jifta-Elas lejai ziemeļos no Bet-Emekas un Negiēlai un iet uz ziemeļiem un noved pa kreisi uz Kabulu, 28 Ebronu, Rehobu, Hamonnu un Kanu līdz lielajai pilsētai Sidonai. 29 Un tad atkal šī robeža griežas pret Rāmu un līdz stipri nocietinātai pilsētai Tirai, tad uz Hosu un izbeidzas pie jūras. Klāt nāk vēl Mahaleba, Ahsiba, 30 tad - Uma, kā arī Afeka un Rehoba; divdesmit divas pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 31 Šis ir Ašera bērnu cilts īpašums pēc viņu dzimtām, pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 32 Un sestie mesli krita Naftaļa bērnu ciltij pēc viņu dzimtām. 33 Un viņu robeža iet no Helefas, no Caānanima ozola, pāri Adamī-Nekebai un Jabneēlai līdz Lakomai, un tās gals nonāk pie Jordānas. 34 Tālāk šī robeža pagriežas pret vakariem uz Aznot-Tāboru, un no turienes tā aiziet uz Hukoku un tad dienvidos pieskaras Zebulonam, bet Ašeram tā pieskaras rietumos un Jūdas zemēm austrumos Jordānas krastā. 35 Nocietinātās pilsētas bija: Cidima, Cera, Hammata, Rakota un Kinnerota, 36 Ādama, Rāma un Hacora, 37 Kedeša, Edreja un Ajin-Hacora, 38 Irona, Migdalēla, Horema, Bet-Anota un Bet-Šemeša; pavisam kopā deviņpadsmit pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 39 Šis ir Naftaļa bērnu cilts īpašums pēc viņu dzimtām, pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 40 Septītie mesli krita Dana bērnu ciltij pēc viņu dzimtām. 41 Un viņu daļas īpašumā bija: Corga, Eštaola un Īr-Šemeša , 42 Šaālabina, Ajalona un Jetla, 43 Elona, Timnata un Ekrona, 44 Elteka, Gibetona un Baalata, 45 Jehūda, Benei-Beraka un Gat-Rimona, 46 Mai-Jarkona un Rakona ar apgabalu virzienā uz Jafu. 47 Un, kad vēlāk Dana bērniem apgabals kļuva par šauru, viņi cēlās un karoja pret Lešemu, un viņi to ieņēma un kāva ar zobena asmeni, un ņēma to savā īpašumā, un apmetās tur uz dzīvi. Viņi nosauca Lešemu par Danu pēc sava tēva Dana vārda. 48 Šis ir Dana bērnu cilts īpašums pēc viņu dzimtām, pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 49 Kad Israēla bērni pabeidza zemi sadalīt pēc tās robežām, tad viņi piešķīra arī Jozuam, Nūna dēlam, īpašumu savā vidū. 50 Pēc Tā Kunga pavēles tie viņam deva to pilsētu, ko viņš bija sev lūdzis, proti, Timnat-Sēru Efraima kalnu zemē; viņš atjaunoja un nocietināja šo pilsētu un apmetās tur uz dzīvi. 51 Šie ir tie īpašumi, kurus viņiem piešķīra priesteris Ēleāzars un Jozua, Nūna dēls, kā arī Israēla bērnu cilšu galvenie, mezdami meslus Tā Kunga priekšā Šīlo nometnē pie Saiešanas telts durvīm. Un tā viņi pabeidza sadalīt zemi.
