1 And the second lot came forth for the children of Simeon by their kindreds: and their inheritance was 2 In the midst of the possession of the children of Juda: Bersabee and Sabee and Molada, 3 And Hasersual, Bala and Asem, 4 And Eltholad, Bethul and Harma, 5 And Siceleg and Bethmarchaboth and Hasersusa, 6 And Bethlebaoth and Sarohen: thirteen cities, and their villages. 7 And Remmon and Athor and Asan: four cities, and their villages. 8 And all the villages round about these cities to Baalath Beer Ramath to the south quarter. This is the inheritance of the children of Simeon according to their kindreds, 9 In the possession and lot of the children of Juda: because it was too great, and therefore the children of Simeon had their possession in the midst of their inheritance.
10 And the third lot fell to the children of Zabulon by their kindreds: and the border of their possession was unto Sarid. 11 And it went up from the sea and from Merala, and came to Debbaseth: as far as the torrent, which is over against Jeconam. 12 And it returneth from Sarid eastward to the borders of Ceseleththabor: and it goeth out to Dabereth and ascendeth towards Japhie. 13 And it passeth along from thence to the east side of Gethhepher and Thacasin: and goeth out to Remmon, Amthar and Noa. 14 And it turneth about to the north of Hanathon: and the outgoings thereof are the valley of Jephtahel, 15 And Cateth and Naalol and Semeron and Jedala and Bethlehem: twelve cities and their villages. 16 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Zabulon by their kindreds, the cities and their villages.
17 The fourth lot came out to Issachar by their kindreds. 18 And his inheritance was Jezrael and Casaloth and Sunem, 19 And Hapharaim and Seon and Anaharath, 20 And Rabboth and Cesion, Abes, 21 And Rameth and Engannim and Enhadda and Bethpheses. 22 And the border thereof cometh to Thabor and Sehesima and Bethsames: and the outgoings thereof shall be at the Jordan: sixteen cities, and their villages. 23 This is the possession of the sons of Issachar by their kindreds, the cities and their villages.
24 And the fifth lot fell to the tribe of the children of Aser by their kindreds: 25 And their border was Halcath and Chali and Beten and Axaph, 26 And Elmelech and Amaad and Messal: and it reacheth to Carmel by the sea and Sihor and Labanath, 27 And it returneth towards the east to Bethdagon: and passeth along to Zabulon and to the valley of Jephthael towards the north to Bethemec and Nehiel. And it goeth out to the left side of Cabul, 28 And to Abaran and Rohob and Hamon and Cana, as far as the great Sidon. 29 And it returneth to Horma to the strong city of Tyre, and to Hosa: and the outgoings thereof shall be at the sea from the portion of Achziba: 30 And Amma and Aphec and Rohob: twenty-two cities, and their villages. 31 This is the possession of the children of Aser by their kindreds, and the cities and their villages.
32 The sixth lot came out to the sons of Nephtali by their families: 33 And the border began from Heleph and Elon to Saananim, and Adami, which is Neceb, and Jebnael even to Lecum: 34 And the border returneth westward to Azanotthabor, and goeth out from thence to Hucuca, and passeth along to Zabulon southward, and to Aser westward, and to Juda upon the Jordan towards the rising of the sun. 35 And the strong cities are Assedim, Ser, and Emath, and Reccath and Cenereth, 36 And Edema and Arama, Asor, 37 And Cedes and Edri, Enhasor, 38 And Jeron and Magdalel, Horem, and Bethanath and Bethsames: nineteen cities, and their villages. 39 This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Nephtali by their kindreds, the cities and their villages.
40 The seventh lot came out to the tribe of the children of Dan by their families, 41 And the border of their possession was Saraa and Esthaol, and Hirsemes, that is, the city of the sun, 42 Selebin and Aialon and Jethela, 43 Elon and Themna and Acron, 44 Elthece, Gebbethon and Balaath, 45 And Juda and Bane and Barach and Gethremmon: 46 And Mejarcon and Arecon, with the border that looketh towards Joppe, 47 And is terminated there. And the children of Dan went up and fought against Lesem, and took it: and they put it to the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt in it, calling the name of it Lesem Dan, by the name of Dan their father. 48 This is the possession of the tribe of the sons of Dan, by their kindreds, the cities and their villages.
49 And when he had made an end of dividing the land by lot to each one by their tribes, the children of Israel gave a possession to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them, 50 According to the commandment of the Lord, the city which he asked for, Thamnath Saraa, in mount Ephraim: and he built up the city, and dwelt in it. 51 These are the possessions which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families, and of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed by lot in Silo, before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and they divided the land.

32 Filiorum Nephthali sexta sors cecidit per familias suas: 33 et cœpit terminus de Heleph et Elon in Saananim, et Adami, quæ est Neceb, et Jebnaël usque Lecum: et egressus eorum usque ad Jordanem: 34 revertiturque terminus contra occidentem in Azanotthabor, atque inde egreditur in Hucuca, et pertransit in Zabulon contra meridiem, et in Aser contra occidentem, et in Juda ad Jordanem contra ortum solis: 35 civitates munitissimæ, Assedim, Ser, et Emath, et Reccath et Cenereth, 36 et Edema et Arama, Asor 37 et Cedes et Edrai, Enhasor, 38 et Jeron et Magdalel, Horem et Bethanath et Bethsames: civitates decem et novem, et villæ earum. 39 Hæc est possessio tribus filiorum Nephthali per cognationes suas, urbes et viculi earum.

Ascenderuntque filii Dan, et pugnaverunt contra Lesem, ceperuntque eam: et percusserunt eam in ore gladii, et possederunt, et habitaverunt in ea, vocantes nomen ejus Lesem Dan, ex nomine Dan patris sui. 48 Hæc est possessio tribus filiorum Dan, per cognationes suas, urbes et viculi earum.
49 Cumque complesset sorte dividere terram singulis per tribus suas, dederunt filii Israël possessionem Josue filio Nun in medio sui, 50 juxta præceptum Domini, urbem quam postulavit Thamnath Saraa in monte Ephraim: et ædificavit civitatem, habitavitque in ea. 51 Hæ sunt possessiones, quas sorte diviserunt Eleazar sacerdos, et Josue filius Nun, et principes familiarum ac tribuum filiorum Israël in Silo, coram Domino ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii: partitique sunt terram.
