This
then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families;
even
to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward
was
the uttermost part of the south coast.
2
And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:
3
And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
4
From thence
it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.
5
And the east border
was
the salt sea,
even
unto the end of Jordan. And
their
border in the north quarter
was
from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
6
And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
7
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal,
that is
before the going up to Adummim, which
is
on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel:
8
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same
is
Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that
lieth
before the valley of Hinnom westward, which
is
at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
9
And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which
is
Kirjath-jearim:
10
And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which
is
Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
11
And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
12
And the west border
was
to the great sea, and the coast
thereof.
This
is
the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13
And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua,
even
the city of Arba the father of Anak, which
city is
Hebron.
14
And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15
And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before
was
Kirjath-sepher.
16
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
17
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
18
And it came to pass, as she came
unto him,
that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off
her
ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
19
Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
20
This
is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
21
And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
22
And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
23
And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,
24
Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,
25
And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth,
and
Hezron, which
is
Hazor,
26
Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,
27
And Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-palet,
28
And Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Bizjothjah,
29
Baalah, and Iim, and Azem,
30
And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,
31
And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,
32
And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities
are
twenty and nine, with their villages:
33
And
in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,
34
And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam,
35
Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,
36
And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages:
37
Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad,
38
And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,
39
Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,
40
And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,
41
And Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages:
42
Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,
43
And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,
44
And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages:
45
Ekron, with her towns and her villages:
46
From Ekron even unto the sea, all that
lay
near Ashdod, with their villages:
47
Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border
thereof:
48
And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
49
And Dannah, and Kirjath-sannah, which
is
Debir,
50
And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
51
And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages:
52
Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,
53
And Janum, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah,
54
And Humtah, and Kirjath-arba, which
is
Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages:
55
Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,
56
And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,
57
Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:
58
Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor,
59
And Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages:
60
Kirjath-baal, which
is
Kirjath-jearim, and Rabbah; two cities with their villages:
61
In the wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah,
62
And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages.
63
As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
16
And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
2
And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
3
And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
4
So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was
thus:
even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;
6
And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
7
And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
8
The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This
is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
9
And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim
were
among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10
And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
17
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he
was
the firstborn of Joseph;
to wit,
for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2
There was also
a lot
for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these
were
the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3
But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these
are
the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which
were
on the other side Jordan;
6
Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
7
And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that
lieth
before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8
Now
Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh
belonged
to the children of Ephraim;
9
And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim
are
among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also
was
on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
10
Southward
it was
Ephraim’s, and northward
it was
Manasseh’s, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns,
even
three countries.
12
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out
the inhabitants of
those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
14
And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me
but
one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I
am
a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
15
And Joshua answered them, If thou
be
a great people,
then
get thee up to the wood
country,
and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
16
And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron,
both they
who
are
of Beth-shean and her towns, and
they
who
are
of the valley of Jezreel.
17
And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph,
even
to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou
art
a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot
only:
18
But the mountain shall be thine; for it
is
a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots,
and
though they
be
strong.
18
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long
are
ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
4
Give out from among you three men for
each
tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come
again
to me.
5
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6
Ye shall therefore describe the land
into
seven parts, and bring
the description
hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
8
And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
9
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came
again
to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12
And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13
And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that
lieth
on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
14
And the border was drawn
thence,
and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that
lieth
before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which
is
Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this
was
the west quarter.
15
And the south quarter
was
from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that
lieth
before the valley of the son of Hinnom,
and
which
is
in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
17
And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which
is
over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18
And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
19
And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this
was
the south coast.
20
And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This
was
the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22
And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23
And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24
And Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25
Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26
And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27
And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28
And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which
is
Jerusalem, Gibeath,
and
Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This
is
the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
19
And the second lot came forth to Simeon,
even
for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
2
And they had in their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,
3
And Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Azem,
4
And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5
And Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah,
6
And Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:
7
Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:
8
And all the villages that
were
round about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.
9
Out 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.
10
And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:
11
And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that
is
before Jokneam;
12
And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor, and then goeth out to daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,
13
And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to Remmon-methoar to Neah;
14
And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah-el:
15
And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.
16
This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
17
And
the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.
18
And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
19
And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,
20
And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,
21
And Remeth, and En-gannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez;
22
And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Beth-shemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.
23
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.
24
And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.
25
And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
26
And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath;
27
And turneth toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthah-el toward the north side of Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,
28
And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah,
even
unto great Zidon;
29
And
then
the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:
30
Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages.
31
This
is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.
32
The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali,
even
for the children of Naphtali according to their families.
33
And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:
34
And
then
the coast turneth westward to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.
35
And the fenced cities
are
Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,
36
And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
37
And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor,
38
And Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.
39
This
is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.
40
And
the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.
41
And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh,
42
And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,
43
And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,
44
And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
45
And Jehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon,
46
And Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.
47
And the coast of the children of Dan went out
too little
for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
48
This
is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
49
When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:
50
According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked,
even
Timnath-serah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.
51
These
are
the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
20
The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
2
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
3
That the slayer that killeth
any
person unawares
and
unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
4
And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
5
And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
6
And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment,
and
until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
7
And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which
is
Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
8
And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
9
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth
any
person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
