¹ Ain, Rimmon and Ether and Ashan; four cities with their villages;

² and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev (South country). This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

³ The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, for the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance within Judah's inheritance.

⁴ The third lot came up for [the tribe of] the sons of Zebulun according to their families. The territory of their inheritance extended to Sarid.

⁵ Then its border went up westward and on to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth and reached to the brook east of Jokneam.

⁶ Then it turned from Sarid east toward the sunrise as far as the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it proceeded to Daberath and on up to Japhia.

⁷ From there it continued east toward the sunrise to[1] Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin, and proceeded to Rimmon which turns toward Neah.

⁸ The border circled it on the north to Hannathon, ending at the Valley of Iphtahel.

⁹ Included were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages.

¹⁰ This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

¹¹ The fourth lot fell to [the tribe of] Issachar, to the sons of Issachar according to their families.

¹² Their territory included: Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem,

¹³ and Hapharaim and Shion and Anaharath,

¹⁴ and Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez,

¹⁵ and Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez.

¹⁶ The border reached to Tabor and Shahazumah and Beth-shemesh, and their border ended at the Jordan; sixteen cities with their villages.

¹⁷ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

¹⁸ The fifth lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

¹⁹ Their territory was Helkath and Hali and Beten and Achshaph,

²⁰ and Allammelech and Amad and Mishal; and on the west it reached to Carmel and to Shihor-libnath.

²¹ Then it turned eastward to Beth-dagon and reached Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel, and continued in the north to Cabul,

²² and Ebron and Rehob and Hammon and Kanah, as far as Great Sidon.
