Joshua 19:1-10

Allotment for Simeon 1The second lot came out for the tribe of Simeon according to its clans. Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah.

2It included: Beersheba (or Sheba), Or Beersheba, Sheba; 1 Chron. 4:28 does not have Sheba. Moladah, 3Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem, 4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5Ziklag, Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susah,

6Beth Lebaoth and Sharuhen—thirteen towns and their villages; 7Ain, Rimmon, Ether and Ashan—four towns and their villages—

8and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah in the Negev). This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Simeonites, according to its clans.

9The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah, because Judah’s portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.

Allotment for Zebulun 10The third lot came up for Zebulun according to its clans: The boundary of their inheritance went as far as Sarid.
