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.

They settled there and changed the name of the city from Laish to Dan, naming it after their ancestor Dan. 48 These cities and their towns were in the land which the families of the tribe of Dan received as their possession.
The Final Assignment of the Land
49 When the people of Israel finished dividing up the land, they gave Joshua son of Nun a part of the land as his own. 50 As the Lord had commanded, they gave him the city he asked for: Timnath Serah, in the hill country of Ephraim. He rebuilt the city and settled there.
51 Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders of the families of the tribes of Israel assigned these parts of the land by drawing lots to consult the Lord at Shiloh, at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence. In this way they finished dividing the land.
