Yehoshua 19

1And the second goral (lot) came to Shim'on, even for the tribe of the Bnei Shim'on according to their mishpekhot; and their nachalah was within the nachalah of the Bnei Yehudah.

2And they had in their nachalah Beer-Sheva, and Sheva, and Moladah,

3And Chatzar Shual, and Balah, and Atzem,

4And Eltolad, and Beitul, and Chormah,

5And Ziklag, and Beit-HaMarkavot, and Chatzar Susah,

6And Beit-Levaot, and Sharuchen; 13 towns and their villages;

7Ain, Rimmon, and Eter, and Ashan; 4 towns and their villages;

8And all the villages that were around these towns as far as Baalat Be'er, Ramat Negev. This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Shim'on according to their mishpekhot.

9Out of the chevel (portion, lot) of the Bnei Yehudah was the nachalah of the Bnei Shim'on; for the chelek of the Bnei Yehudah was too much for them; therefore the Bnei Shim'on had their nachalah within the nachalah of them.

10And the third goral came up for the Bnei Zevulun according to their mishpekhot; and the boundary of their nachalah was as far as Sarid;

11And their boundary went up to the west, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbashet, and reached to the wadi that is opposite Yokneam;

12And turned from Sarid eastward toward the rising of the shemesh unto the territory of Kislot Tavor, and then goeth out to Dovrat, and goeth up to Yaphia,

13And from there passeth on along on the east to Gat-Chepher, to Et-Katzin, and goeth out to Rimmon being bent unto Neah;

14And the boundary goes around it on the north to Chanaton; and ends at the valley of Yiphtach-El;

15And Kattat, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Yidalah, and Beit-Lechem; 12 towns with their villages.

16This is the nachalah of the Bnei Zevulun according to their mishpekhot, these towns with their villages.

17And the fourth goral came out to Yissakhar, for the Bnei Yissakhar according to their mishpekhot.

18And their territory was toward Yizre'el, and Kesulot, and Shunem,

19And Chaphrayim, and Shi'on, and Anacharat,

20And Rabit, and Kishyon, and Evetz,

21And Remet, and Ein-Ganim, and Ein Chaddah, and Beit Patzetz;

22And the boundary reacheth to Tavor, and Shachatzimah, and Beit Shemesh; and the end of their boundary was at the Yarden; 16 towns with their villages.

23This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Yissakhar according to their mishpekhot, the towns and their villages.

24And the fifth goral came out for the tribe of Bnei Asher according to their mishpekhot.

25And their territory was Chelkat, and Chali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

26And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shichor-Livnat;

27And turneth toward the rising of the shemesh toward Beit Dagon, and reacheth to Zevulun, and to the valley of Yiphthach-El toward the north side of Beit Emek, and Ne'i'el, and goeth out to Kavul-Missemo'l,

28And Evron, and Rechov, and Chammon, and Kanah, even as far as Tzidon Rabbah;

29And then the boundary turneth to Ramah, and to the fortress-city of Tzor; and the boundary turneth to Chossah; and the end thereof is at the Yam [Mediterranean] in the region of Akhziv;

30Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rechov; 22 towns with their villages.

31This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Asher according to their mishpekhot, these towns with their villages.

32The sixth goral came out to the Bnei Naphtali, even for the Bnei Naphtali according to their mishpekhot.

33And their boundary ran from Cheleph, from Elon in Tzaananim, Adami-Nekev, and Yavne'el, unto Lakum; and ended at the Yarden;

34And the boundary ran westward to Aznot Tavor, and goeth out from there to Chukok, and reacheth to Zevulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Yehudah upon the Yarden toward the rising of the shemesh.

35And the fortified cities are Tzidim, Tzer, and Chammat, Rakat, and Kinneret,

36And Adamah, and Ramah, and Chatzor,

37And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Ein Chatzor,

38And Yiron, and Migdal-El, Chorem, and Beit Anat, and Beit Shemesh; 19 towns with their villages.

39This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Naphtali according to their mishpekhot, the towns and their villages.

40And the seventh goral came out for the tribe of the Bnei Dan according to their mishpekhot.

41And the territory of their nachalah was Tzorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-Shemesh,

42And Shaalabbin, and Ayalon, and Yitlah,

43And Eilon, and Timnah, and Ekron,

44And Eltekeh, and Gib'ton, and Baalat,

45And Yehud, and Bnei Berak, and Gat Rimmon,

46And Yarkon, and Rakkon, with the boundary facing Yafo.

47And the territory of the Bnei Dan went out being too small for them; therefore the Bnei Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and struck it down with the edge of the cherev, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem Dan, after the shem of Dan their av.

48This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Dan according to their mishpekhot, these towns with their villages.

49When they had made an end of dividing HaAretz for nachalah by their portions, the Bnei Yisroel gave a nachalah to Joshua ben Nun among them.

50According to the Devar Hashem they gave him the Ir for which he asked, even Timnat-Serach in Mt Ephrayim; and he built the town, and dwelt therein.

51These are hanechalot (the inheritances), which Elazar HaKohen, and Joshua ben Nun, and the Roshei HaAvot of the tribes of the Bnei Yisroel, distributed by lot in Shiloh before Hashem, at the petach of the Ohel Mo'ed. So they made an end of dividing up HaAretz.
