| 1The second lot came out for the tribe of Simeon according to its clans.

| 2It included: Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah, | 2And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, |

| 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. | 9Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them. |
