1The second lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Simeon: Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah

1וַיֵּצֵ֞א הַגּוֹרָ֤ל הַשֵּׁנִי֙ לְשִׁמְע֔וֹן לְמַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ שִׁמְע֖וֹן לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָ֑ם וַֽיְהִי֙ נַֽחֲלָתָ֔ם בְּת֖וֹךְ נַחֲלַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־ יְהוּדָֽה׃

2and included Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah,

2וַיְהִ֥י לָהֶ֖ם בְּנַֽחֲלָתָ֑ם בְּאֵֽר־ שֶׁ֥בַע וְשֶׁ֖בַע וּמוֹלָדָֽה׃

3Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem,

3וַחֲצַ֥ר שׁוּעָ֛ל וּבָלָ֖ה וָעָֽצֶם׃

4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,

4וְאֶלְתּוֹלַ֥ד וּבְת֖וּל וְחָרְמָֽה׃

5Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah,

5וְצִֽקְלַ֥ג וּבֵית־ הַמַּרְכָּב֖וֹת וַחֲצַ֥ר סוּסָֽה׃

6Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities, along with their villages.

6וּבֵ֥ית לְבָא֖וֹת וְשָֽׁרוּחֶ֑ן עָרִ֥ים שְׁלֹשׁ־ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃

7Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities, along with their villages,

7עַ֥יִן ׀ רִמּ֖וֹן וָעֶ֣תֶר וְעָשָׁ֑ן עָרִ֥ים אַרְבַּ֖ע וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃

8and all the villages surrounding these cities as far as Baalath-beer (Ramah of the Negev). This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Simeon.

8וְכָל־ הַֽחֲצֵרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר סְבִיבוֹת֙ הֶֽעָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה עַד־ בַּֽעֲלַ֥ת בְּאֵ֖ר רָ֣אמַת נֶ֑גֶב זֹ֗את נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ שִׁמְע֖וֹן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃

9The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the territory of Judah, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them. So the Simeonites received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.

9מֵחֶ֙בֶל֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה נַחֲלַ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י שִׁמְע֑וֹן כִּֽי־ הָיָ֞ה חֵ֤לֶק בְּנֵֽי־ יְהוּדָה֙ רַ֣ב מֵהֶ֔ם וַיִּנְחֲל֥וּ בְנֵֽי־ שִׁמְע֖וֹן בְּת֥וֹךְ נַחֲלָתָֽם׃ פ

10The third lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Zebulun: The border of their inheritance stretched as far as Sarid.

10וַיַּ֙עַל֙ הַגּוֹרָ֣ל הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י לִבְנֵ֥י זְבוּלֻ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם וַיְהִ֛י גְּב֥וּל נַחֲלָתָ֖ם עַד־ שָׂרִֽיד׃

11It went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam.

11וְעָלָ֨ה גְבוּלָ֧ם ׀ לַיָּ֛מָּה וּמַרְעֲלָ֖ה וּפָגַ֣ע בְּדַבָּ֑שֶׁת וּפָגַע֙ אֶל־ הַנַּ֔חַל אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י יָקְנְעָֽם׃

12From Sarid it turned eastward along the border of Chisloth-tabor and went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.

12וְשָׁ֣ב מִשָּׂרִ֗יד קֵ֚דְמָה מִזְרַ֣ח הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ עַל־ גְּב֥וּל כִּסְלֹ֖ת תָּבֹ֑ר וְיָצָ֥א אֶל־ הַדָּֽבְרַ֖ת וְעָלָ֥ה יָפִֽיעַ׃

13From there it crossed eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon and curved around toward Neah.

13וּמִשָּׁ֤ם עָבַר֙ קֵ֣דְמָה מִזְרָ֔חָה גִּתָּ֥ה חֵ֖פֶר עִתָּ֣ה קָצִ֑ין וְיָצָ֛א רִמּ֥וֹן הַמְּתֹאָ֖ר הַנֵּעָֽה׃

14Then the border circled around the north side of Neah to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el.

14וְנָסַ֤ב אֹתוֹ֙ הַגְּב֔וּל מִצְּפ֖וֹן חַנָּתֹ֑ן וְהָיוּ֙ תֹּֽצְאֹתָ֔יו גֵּ֖י יִפְתַּח־ אֵֽל׃

15It also included Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve cities, along with their villages.

15וְקַטָּ֤ת וְנַֽהֲלָל֙ וְשִׁמְר֔וֹן וְיִדְאֲלָ֖ה וּבֵ֣ית לָ֑חֶם עָרִ֥ים שְׁתֵּים־ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃

16This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Zebulun, including these cities and their villages.

16זֹ֛את נַחֲלַ֥ת בְּנֵֽי־ זְבוּלֻ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָ֑ם הֶֽעָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ פ

17The fourth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Issachar:

17לְיִ֨שָּׂשכָ֔ר יָצָ֖א הַגּוֹרָ֣ל הָֽרְבִיעִ֑י לִבְנֵ֥י יִשָּׂשכָ֖ר לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם׃

18Their territory included Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem,

18וַיְהִ֖י גְּבוּלָ֑ם יִזְרְעֶ֥אלָה וְהַכְּסוּלֹ֖ת וְשׁוּנֵֽם׃

19Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,

19וַחֲפָרַ֥יִם וְשִׁיאֹ֖ן וַאֲנָחֲרַֽת׃

20Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

20וְהָֽרַבִּ֥ית וְקִשְׁי֖וֹן וָאָֽבֶץ׃

21Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez.

21וְרֶ֧מֶת וְעֵין־ גַּנִּ֛ים וְעֵ֥ין חַדָּ֖ה וּבֵ֥ית פַּצֵּֽץ׃

22The border reached Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and ended at the Jordan. There were sixteen cities, along with their villages.

22וּפָגַע֩ הַגְּב֨וּל בְּתָב֤וֹר [ושחצומה] (וְשַׁחֲצִ֙ימָה֙) וּבֵ֣ית שֶׁ֔מֶשׁ וְהָי֛וּ תֹּצְא֥וֹת גְּבוּלָ֖ם הַיַּרְדֵּ֑ן עָרִ֥ים שֵׁשׁ־ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃

23This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Issachar, including these cities and their villages.

23זֹ֗את נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ יִשָּׂשכָ֖ר לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם הֶעָרִ֖ים וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ פ

24The fifth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Asher:

24וַיֵּצֵא֙ הַגּוֹרָ֣ל הַֽחֲמִישִׁ֔י לְמַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ אָשֵׁ֖ר לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם׃

25Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,

25וַיְהִ֖י גְּבוּלָ֑ם חֶלְקַ֥ת וַחֲלִ֖י וָבֶ֥טֶן וְאַכְשָֽׁף׃

26Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath,

26וְאַֽלַמֶּ֥לֶךְ וְעַמְעָ֖ד וּמִשְׁאָ֑ל וּפָגַ֤ע בְּכַרְמֶל֙ הַיָּ֔מָּה וּבְשִׁיח֖וֹר לִבְנָֽת׃

27then turned eastward toward Beth-dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah-el, and went north to Beth-emek and Neiel, passing Cabul on the left.

27וְשָׁ֨ב מִזְרַ֣ח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ֮ בֵּ֣ית דָּגֹן֒ וּפָגַ֣ע בִּ֠זְבֻלוּן וּבְגֵ֨י יִפְתַּח־ אֵ֥ל צָפ֛וֹנָה בֵּ֥ית הָעֵ֖מֶק וּנְעִיאֵ֑ל וְיָצָ֥א אֶל־ כָּב֖וּל מִשְּׂמֹֽאל׃

28It went on to Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.

28וְעֶבְרֹ֥ן וּרְחֹ֖ב וְחַמּ֣וֹן וְקָנָ֑ה עַ֖ד צִיד֥וֹן רַבָּֽה׃

29The border then turned back toward Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre, turned toward Hosah, and came out at the Sea in the region of Achzib,

29וְשָׁ֤ב הַגְּבוּל֙ הָֽרָמָ֔ה וְעַד־ עִ֖יר מִבְצַר־ צֹ֑ר וְשָׁ֤ב הַגְּבוּל֙ חֹסָ֔ה [ויהיו] (וְהָי֧וּ) תֹצְאֹתָ֛יו הַיָּ֖מָּה מֵחֶ֥בֶל אַכְזִֽיבָה׃

30Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. There were twenty-two cities, along with their villages.

30וְעֻמָ֥ה וַאֲפֵ֖ק וּרְחֹ֑ב עָרִ֛ים עֶשְׂרִ֥ים וּשְׁתַּ֖יִם וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃

31This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Asher, including these cities and their villages.

31זֹ֗את נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ אָשֵׁ֖ר לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם הֶעָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ פ

32The sixth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Naphtali:

32לִבְנֵ֣י נַפְתָּלִ֔י יָצָ֖א הַגּוֹרָ֣ל הַשִּׁשִּׁ֑י לִבְנֵ֥י נַפְתָּלִ֖י לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃

33Their border started at Heleph and the great tree of Zaanannim, passing Adami-nekeb and Jabneel as far as Lakkum and ending at the Jordan.

33וַיְהִ֣י גְבוּלָ֗ם מֵחֵ֨לֶף מֵֽאֵל֜וֹן בְּצַעֲנַנִּ֗ים וַאֲדָמִ֥י הַנֶּ֛קֶב וְיַבְנְאֵ֖ל עַד־ לַקּ֑וּם וַיְהִ֥י תֹצְאֹתָ֖יו הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃

34Then the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor and ran from there to Hukkok, touching Zebulun on the south side, Asher on the west, and Judah at the Jordan on the east.

34וְשָׁ֨ב הַגְּב֥וּל יָ֙מָּה֙ אַזְנ֣וֹת תָּב֔וֹר וְיָצָ֥א מִשָּׁ֖ם חוּקֹ֑קָה וּפָגַ֨ע בִּזְבֻל֜וּן מִנֶּ֗גֶב וּבְאָשֵׁר֙ פָּגַ֣ע מִיָּ֔ם וּבִ֣יהוּדָ֔ה הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן מִזְרַ֥ח הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃

35The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth,

35וְעָרֵ֖י מִבְצָ֑ר הַצִּדִּ֣ים צֵ֔ר וְחַמַּ֖ת רַקַּ֥ת וְכִנָּֽרֶת׃

36Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

36וַאֲדָמָ֥ה וְהָרָמָ֖ה וְחָצֽוֹר׃

37Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor,

37וְקֶ֥דֶשׁ וְאֶדְרֶ֖עִי וְעֵ֥ין חָצֽוֹר׃

38Iron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh. There were nineteen cities, along with their villages.

38וְיִרְאוֹן֙ וּמִגְדַּל־ אֵ֔ל חֳרֵ֥ם וּבֵית־ עֲנָ֖ת וּבֵ֣ית שָׁ֑מֶשׁ עָרִ֥ים תְּשַֽׁע־ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃

39This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Naphtali, including these cities and their villages.

39זֹ֗את נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ נַפְתָּלִ֖י לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם הֶעָרִ֖ים וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ פ

40The seventh lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Dan:

40לְמַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵי־ דָ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם יָצָ֖א הַגּוֹרָ֥ל הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃

41The territory of their inheritance included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh,

41וַיְהִ֖י גְּב֣וּל נַחֲלָתָ֑ם צָרְעָ֥ה וְאֶשְׁתָּא֖וֹל וְעִ֥יר שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃

42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

42וְשַֽׁעֲלַבִּ֥ין וְאַיָּל֖וֹן וְיִתְלָֽה׃

43Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

43וְאֵיל֥וֹן וְתִמְנָ֖תָה וְעֶקְרֽוֹן׃

44Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

44וְאֶלְתְּקֵ֥ה וְגִבְּת֖וֹן וּבַעֲלָֽת׃

45Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon,

45וִיהֻ֥ד וּבְנֵֽי־ בְרַ֖ק וְגַת־ רִמּֽוֹן׃

46Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, including the territory across from Joppa.

46וּמֵ֥י הַיַּרְק֖וֹן וְהָֽרַקּ֑וֹן עִֽם־ הַגְּב֖וּל מ֥וּל יָפֽוֹ׃

47(Later, when the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and put it to the sword. So they took possession of Leshem, settled there, and renamed it after their father Dan.)

47וַיֵּצֵ֥א גְבוּל־ בְּנֵי־ דָ֖ן מֵהֶ֑ם וַיַּעֲל֣וּ בְנֵֽי־ דָ֠ן וַיִּלָּחֲמ֨וּ עִם־ לֶ֜שֶׁם וַיִּלְכְּד֥וּ אוֹתָ֣הּ ׀ וַיַּכּ֧וּ אוֹתָ֣הּ לְפִי־ חֶ֗רֶב וַיִּֽרְשׁ֤וּ אוֹתָהּ֙ וַיֵּ֣שְׁבוּ בָ֔הּ וַיִּקְרְא֤וּ לְלֶ֙שֶׁם֙ דָּ֔ן כְּשֵׁ֖ם דָּ֥ן אֲבִיהֶֽם׃

48This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Dan, including these cities and their villages.

48זֹ֗את נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵי־ דָ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם הֶֽעָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ פ

49When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

49וַיְכַלּ֥וּ לִנְחֹל־ אֶת־ הָאָ֖רֶץ לִגְבֽוּלֹתֶ֑יהָ וַיִּתְּנ֨וּ בְנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֧ל נַחֲלָ֛ה לִיהוֹשֻׁ֥עַ בִּן־ נ֖וּן בְּתוֹכָֽם׃

50as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the city of Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, as he requested. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.

50עַל־ פִּ֨י יְהוָ֜ה נָ֣תְנוּ ל֗וֹ אֶת־ הָעִיר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁאָ֔ל אֶת־ תִּמְנַת־ סֶ֖רַח בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיִּבְנֶ֥ה אֶת־ הָעִ֖יר וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב בָּֽהּ׃

51These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.

51אֵ֣לֶּה הַנְּחָלֹ֡ת אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִחֲל֣וּ אֶלְעָזָ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֣ן ׀ וִיהוֹשֻׁ֪עַ בִּן־ נ֟וּן וְרָאשֵׁ֣י הָֽאָב֣וֹת לְמַטּוֹת֩ בְּנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל ׀ בְּגוֹרָ֤ל ׀ בְּשִׁלֹה֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד וַיְכַלּ֕וּ מֵֽחַלֵּ֖ק אֶת־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ פ
