Yehoshua 13-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

13 Now Yehoshua was zaken, advanced in yamim; Hashem said unto him, Thou art old, advanced in yamim; HaAretz there remaineth yet harebbeh me’od to be possessed.

² This is HaAretz that yet remaineth; all the regions of the Pelishtim, and all Geshuri,

³ From Sichor, which is before Mitzrayim, even unto the territory of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Kena’ani; five rulers of the Pelishtim; the Azzati, the Ashdodi, the Eshkaloni, the Gitti, the Ekroni; also the Avi’im;

⁴ From the south, all the Eretz HaKena’ani, and from Arah that belongs to the Tzidonim unto Aphek, to the region of HaEmori;

⁵ And the area of the Byblos, and all the Levanon, toward the rising of the shemesh, from Baal-Gad under Mt Chermon unto Levo Chamat.

⁶ All the inhabitants of the har from the Levanon unto Misrephot Mayim, and all the Tzidonim, them will I drive out from before the Bnei Yisroel; only divide thou it by lot unto Yisroel for a nachalah, as I have commanded thee.

⁷ Now therefore divide HaAretz Hazot for a nachalah unto the nine Shevatim, and the half tribe of Menasheh,

⁸ With whom the Reuveni and the Gadi have received their nachalah, which Moshe gave them, beyond Yarden eastward, even as Moshe Eved Hashem gave them;

⁹ From Aroer, that is upon the rim of the Arnon Valley, and the town that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeva unto Divon;

¹⁰ And all the towns of Sichon Melech HaEmori, which reigned in Cheshbon, unto the border of the Bnei Ammon;

¹¹ And Gil‘ad, and the territory of the Geshuri and Maachati, and all Mt Chermon, and all Bashan as far as Salkhah;

¹² All the Mamlechut Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtarot and in Edre’i, who remained of the remnant of Repha’im; for these did Moshe conquer, and dispossessed them.

¹³ Nevertheless the Bnei Yisroel dispossessed not the Geshuri, nor the Maachati; but the Geshuri and the Maachati dwell among Yisroel until this day.

¹⁴ Only unto the shevet HaLevi he gave no nachalah; the sacrifices made by eish of Hashem Elohei Yisroel are their nachalah, as He said unto them.

¹⁵ And Moshe gave unto the tribe of the Bnei Reuven according to their mishpekhot;

¹⁶ Territory to them from Aroer, that is on the rim of the Arnon Valley, and the town that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain past Medevah;

¹⁷ Cheshbon, and all its towns that are in the plain; Divon, and Bamot-Baal, and Beit-Baal Me’on,

¹⁸ And Yahatz, and Kedemot, and Mephaat,

¹⁹ And Kiryatayim, and Sivmah, and Tzeret-HaShachar on the har in the valley,

²⁰ And Beit-Peor, and slopes of Pisgah, and Beit HaYeshimot,

²¹ And all the towns of the plain, and kol mamlechot Shichon Melech HaEmori, who reigned in Cheshbon, whom Moshe conquered with the nasiim of Midyan, Evi, and Rekem, and Tzur, and Chur, and Reva, which were vassal princes under Sichon, dwelling in HaAretz.

²² Also Balaam ben Beor, the kosem (soothsayer, practicer of divination), did the Bnei Yisroel put to death with the cherev among them that were slain by them.

²³ And the boundary of the Bnei Reuven was the Yarden, and the bank thereof. This was the nachalat Bnei Reuven after their mishpekhot, the towns and villages thereof.

²⁴ And Moshe gave unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the Bnei Gad according to their mishpekhot;

²⁵ Territory to them, Yazer, and all the towns of Gil‘ad, and half the Eretz Bnei Ammon, as far as Aroer that is near Rabbah;

²⁶ And from Cheshbon unto Ramat HaMitzpeh, and Betonim; and from Machanayim unto the territory of Devir;

²⁷ And in the valley, Beit-Haram, and Beit-Nimrah, and Sukkot, and Tzaphon, the rest of the Mamlechot Sichon Melech Cheshbon, the Yarden and its territory, even unto the end of the Yam Kinneret on the other side of the Yarden eastward.

²⁸ This is the nachalah of the Bnei Gad after their mishpekhot, the towns, and their villages.

²⁹ And Moshe gave unto the half tribe of Menasheh; and this was the possession of the half tribe of the Bnei Menasheh by their mishpekhot.

³⁰ Their territory was from Machanayim, all Bashan, kol Mamlechot Og Melech HaBashan, and all the towns of Ya’ir, which are in Bashan, shishim ir;

³¹ And half Gil‘ad, and Ashtarot, and Edre’i, towns of the Mamlechot Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the Bnei Machir ben Menasheh, even to the one half of the Bnei Machir by their mishpekhot.

³² These which Moshe did distribute for nachalah in the plains of Moav, on the other side of the Yarden, by Yericho, eastward.

³³ But unto the Shevet HaLevi Moshe gave not any nachalah; Hashem Elohei Yisroel was their nachalah, as He said unto them.

14 And these are that which the Bnei Yisroel inherited in Eretz Kena’an, which Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua ben Nun, and the Roshei Avot of the tribes of the Bnei Yisroel, distributed for nachalah to them.

² By goral (lot) was their nachalah, just as Hashem commanded by the yad Moshe, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

³ For Moshe had given the nachalah of two and a half tribes on the other side of the Yarden; but unto the Levi’im he gave no nachalah among them.

⁴ For the Bnei Yosef were two tribes, Menasheh and Ephrayim; therefore they gave no chelek unto the Levi’im in HaAretz, except arim (cities) to dwell in, with their open land for their livestock and for their herds.

⁵ Just as Hashem commanded Moshe, so the Bnei Yisroel did, and they divided HaAretz.

⁶ Then the Bnei Yehudah came unto Yehoshua in Gilgal; and Kalev ben Yephunneh the Kenezi said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Hashem said unto Moshe Ish HaElohim concerning me and thee in Kadesh-Barnea.

⁷ I was forty years old when Moshe Eved Hashem sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to spy out HaAretz; and I brought him back davar just as it was in my lev.

⁸ Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the lev of HaAm melt; but I wholly followed after Hashem Elohai.

⁹ And Moshe swore on that day, saying, Surely HaAretz whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine nachalah, and that of thy banim ad olam, because thou hast wholly followed after Hashem Elohai.[T.N. See Rv 3:15-16]

¹⁰ And now, hinei, Hashem hath kept me alive, just as He said, these forty and five shanah, even since Hashem spoke this word unto Moshe, while the Bnei Yisroel wandered in the midbar; and now, hinei, I am this day fourscore and five shanah.

¹¹ As yet I am chazak, as strong this day as I was in the day that Moshe sent me; as my koach was then, even so is my koach now, for milchamah, both to go out, and to come in.

¹² Now therefore give me hahar hazeh (this mountain), whereof Hashem spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were gedolot and fortified; but, Hashem with me, I shall be able to drive them out, just as Hashem said.

¹³ And Yehoshua put a bracha on him, and gave unto Kalev ben Yephunneh Chevron for a nachalah.

¹⁴ Chevron therefore became the nachalah of Kalev ben Yephunneh the Kenezi unto this day, because that he wholly followed Hashem Elohei Yisroel.

¹⁵ And the shem of Chevron before was Kiryat Arba; which Arba was ha’adam hagedol among the Anakim. And HaAretz had rest from milchamah.

15 This then was the goral (lot) of the tribe of the Bnei Yehudah by their mishpekhot; even to the territory of Edom, to the midbar of Tzin toward the Negev in the extreme south.

² And their southern boundary was from the shore of the Yam HaMelach, from the bay that looketh southward;

³ And it went out to the south side to Maaleh Akrabbim, passed along to Tzin, ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-Barnea, passed along to Chetzron, went up to Adar, and turned toward Karka;

⁴ From there it passed toward Atzmon, and went out unto the Wadi Mitzrayim; and the boundary ended at the Yam [Mediterranean Sea]; this shall be your south border.

⁵ And the east boundary is the Yam HaMelach, even unto the mouth of the Yarden. And their boundary in the north quarter was from the bay of the Yam [Dead Sea] at the mouth of the Yarden;

⁶ And the boundary went up to Beit-Chogla, and passed along by the north of Beit-Aravah; and the boundary went up to the Even Bohan ben Reuven;

⁷ And the boundary went up toward Devir from the Achor Valley, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, which faces Ma’aleh-Adumim, which is on the south side of the wadi; and the boundary passed toward the Ein-Shemesh Spring, and ended at Ein Rogel;

⁸ And the boundary went up by Ben Hinnom Valley unto the slope of the Yevusi (that is, Yerushalayim); and the boundary went up to the top of the har that is before the Hinnom Valley westward, which is at the end of the Repha’im Valley northward;

⁹ From the top of the har the boundary ran unto the source of Nephtoach Spring, and went out to the towns of Har Ephron; and the boundary went to Baalah (that is, Kiryat Yearim);

¹⁰ And the boundary curved from Baalah westward unto Mt Seir, and ran along unto the slope of Mt Yearim (that is, Kesalon), on the north side, and went down to Beit Shemesh, and passed on to Timnah;

¹¹ And the boundary went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the boundary ran over to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mt Baalah, and went out unto Yavne’el; and the boundary ended at the Yam [Mediterranean Sea].

¹² And the western boundary is HaYamah HaGadol, and the coast thereof. This is the boundary around the Bnei Yehudah according to their mishpekhot.

¹³ And unto Kalev ben Yephunneh he gave chelek among the Bnei Yehudah, according to the commandment of Hashem to Yehoshua, even Kiryat-Arba (avi HaAnak), which is Chevron.

¹⁴ And Kalev drove from there the three Bnei Anak: Sheshai and Achiman and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.

¹⁵ And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Devir; and the shem of Devir formerly was Kiryat Sefer.

¹⁶ And Kalev said, He that strikes down Kiryat Sefer, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my bat as isha.

¹⁷ And Otniel ben Kenaz, the brother of Kalev, took it; and he gave him Achsah his bat as isha.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she urged him to ask of her av a sadeh; and she got off her chamor; and Kalev said unto her, What wouldest thou?

¹⁹ She answered, Give me a brocha; for thou hast given me eretz HaNegev [land in the southern desert]; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the lower springs.

²⁰ This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Yehudah according to their mishpekhot.

²¹ And the towns at the extremity of the tribe of the Bnei Yehudah toward the boundary of Edom southward were Kavtze’el, and Eder, and Yagur,

²² And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,

²³ And Kedesh, and Chatzor, and Yitnan,

²⁴ Ziph, and Telem, and Bealot,

²⁵ And Chatzor, Chadattah, and Keriot, and Chetzron, which is Chatzor,

²⁶ Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,

²⁷ And Chatzar Gaddah, Cheshmon, and Beit-Pelet,

²⁸ And Chatzar Shual, Beer- Sheva, and Bizyot-Yah,

²⁹ Baalah, Iyim, Etzem,

³⁰ And Eltolad, and Kesil, and Chormah,

³¹ And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,

³² And Levaot, and Shilchim, and Ayin, and Rimmon; all the cities are 29, with their villages.

³³ And in the Shefelah: Eshtaol, and Tzoreah, and Ashnah,

³⁴ And Zanoach, and Ein-Gannim, Tapuach, and Enam,

³⁵ Yarmut, and Adulam, Socho, and Azekah,

³⁶ And Shearim, and Aditayim, and Gederah, and Gederotayim; 14 cities with their villages.

³⁷ Tzenan, and Chadashah, and Migdal-Gad,

³⁸ And Dilean, and Mitzpeh, and Yokte’el,

³⁹ Lachish, and Botzkat, and Eglon,

⁴⁰ And Kabbon, and Lachmas, and Kitlish,

⁴¹ And Gederot, Beit-Dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; 16 cities with their villages.

⁴² Livnah, and Eter, and Ashan,

⁴³ And Yiphtach, and Ashnah, and Netziv,

⁴⁴ And Keilah, and Achziv, and Mareshah; 9 cities with their villages.

⁴⁵ Ekron, with her towns and her villages.

⁴⁶ From Ekron even unto the Yam, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages.

⁴⁷ Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Azah (Gaza) with her towns and her villages, unto the Wadi Mitzrayim, and the Yam HaGadol, and the coastline thereof.

⁴⁸ And in the har, Shamir, and Yatir, and Socho,

⁴⁹ And Dannah, and Kiryat Sannah, which is Devir,

⁵⁰ And Anav, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,

⁵¹ And Goshen, and Cholon, and Giloh; 11 cities with their villages;

⁵² Arav, and Dumah, and Esh’an,

⁵³ And Yanum, and Beit Tappuach, and Aphekah,

⁵⁴ And Chumtah, and Kiryat Arba, which is Chevron, and Tzior; 9 cities with their villages;

⁵⁵ Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Yutah,

⁵⁶ And Yizre’el, and Yokdeam, and Zanoah,

⁵⁷ Kayin, Giveah, and Timnah; 10 cities with their villages;

⁵⁸ Chalchul, Beit-Tzur, and Gedor,

⁵⁹ And Maarat, and Beit-Anot, and Eltekon; 6 cities with their villages;

⁶⁰ Kiryat Baal, which is Kiryat-Ye’arim, and Rabbah; 2 cities with their villages;

⁶¹ In the midbar, Beit Aravah, Middin, and Sechachah,

⁶² And Nivshan, and the Ir HaMelach, and Engedi; 6 cities with their villages.

⁶³ As for the Yevusi, the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the Bnei Yehudah could not drive them out; but the Yevusi dwell with the Bnei Yehudah at Yerushalayim unto HaYom Hazeh.

16 And the goral (lot) of the Bnei Yosef ran from the Yarden by Yericho, east of the spring at Yericho, to the midbar that goeth up from Yericho into the hill country of Beit-El,

² And goeth out from Beit-El to Luz, and passeth along unto the territory of Arkhi to Atarot,

³ And goeth down westward to the territory of Yaphleti, unto the territory of Lower Beit Choron, and to Gezer; ending at the Yam [Mediterranean Sea].

⁴ So the Bnei Yosef, Menasheh and Ephrayim, inherited their nachalah.

⁵ And the boundary of the Bnei Ephrayim according to their mishpekhot was thus: the boundary of their nachalah on the east side was Atarot Addar, unto Upper Beit Choron;

⁶ And the boundary ran toward the Yam to Michmetat on the north side; and the boundary ran eastward unto Taanat Shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanochah;

⁷ And it ran down from Yanochah to Atarot, and to Naarah, and came to Yericho, and ran to an end at the Yarden.

⁸ The boundary ran from Tapuach westward unto the Wadi Kanah; and the end thereof ran to the Yam. This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Ephrayim by their mishpekhot.

⁹ And the towns set aside for the Bnei Ephrayim were inside the Bnei Menasheh, all the towns with their villages.

¹⁰ And they drove not out the Kena’ani that dwelt in Gezer: but the Kena’ani dwell among the Ephrayim unto yom hazeh, and serve under forced labor.

17 There was also a goral (lot) for the tribe of Menasheh; for he was the bechor of Yosef; Machir was the bechor of Menasheh and the av of Gil`ad, and because he was an ish milchamah, therefore he got Gil`ad and Bashan.

² There was also a goral (lot) for the rest of the Bnei Menasheh by their mishpekhot; for the Bnei Aviezer, for the Bnei Chelek, for the Bnei Asriel, for the Bnei Shechem, for the Bnei Chepher, and for the Bnei Shemida; these were the zekharim of the Menasheh ben Yosef by their mishpekhot.

³ But Tzelophechad ben Chepher ben Gil‘ad ben Machir ben Menasheh had no banim, but banot; and these are the shmot of his banot, Machlah, and Noah, Choglah, Milcah, and Tirtzah.

⁴ And they came near before Eleazar HaKohen, and before Yehoshua ben Nun, and before the nasi’im saying, Hashem commanded Moshe to give us a nachalah among acheinu. Therefore according to the commandment of Hashem he gave them a nachalah among the achim of their av.

⁵ And there fell ten tracts of land to Menasheh, in addition to Eretz Gil‘ad and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Yarden;

⁶ Because the banot of Menasheh had inherited a nachalah among his banim; and the rest of the Bnei Menasheh had Eretz Gil‘ad.

⁷ And the boundary of Menasheh was from Asher to Michmetat, that lieth before Shechem; and the boundary ran along to the right to the inhabitants of Ein Tapuach.

⁸ Now Menasheh had Eretz Tapuach; but Tapuach on the border of Menasheh belonged to the Bnei Ephrayim;

⁹ And the boundary descended unto the Wadi Kanah, southward of the Wadi; these towns of Ephrayim are among the towns of Menasheh; the boundary of Menasheh also was on the north side of the Wadi, and ended at the Yam;

¹⁰ Southward it was Ephrayim’s, and northward it was Menasheh’s, and the Yam is its boundary; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Yissakhar on the east.

¹¹ And Menasheh had in Yissakhar and in Asher Beit Sh’an and its towns, and Yivleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Ein-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, sheloshet (three) of Nafet.

¹² Yet the Bnei Menasheh could not drive out the inhabitants of those towns; but the Kena’ani persisted dwelling in that land.

¹³ Yet it came to pass, when the Bnei Yisroel increased in chozek (strength) that they put the Kena’ani to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.

¹⁴ And the Bnei Yosef spoke unto Yehoshua, saying, Why hast thou given me for a nachalah but one goral and one chevel (portion, lot) to inherit, seeing I am an am rav, forasmuch as Hashem hath blessed me hitherto?

¹⁵ And Yehoshua answered them, If thou be an am rav, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the Eretz HaPerizzi and HaRepha’im, if Har Ephrayim be too small for thee.

¹⁶ And the Bnei Yosef said, The har is not enough for us; and all the Kena’ani that dwell in the eretz haemek have chariots of barzel (iron), both they who are of Beit Sh’an and her towns, and they who are of the emek Yizre’el.

¹⁷ And Yehoshua spoke unto Bais Yosef, even to Ephrayim and to Menasheh, saying, Thou art an am rav, and hast ko’ach gadol; thou shalt not have goral echad only;

¹⁸ But the har shall be thine; for it is a forest, and thou shalt cut it down; and the rest of the cleared land shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Kena’ani, though they have chariots of barzel (iron), and though they be chazak.

18 And the kol Adat Bnei Yisroel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the Ohel Mo’ed there. And HaAretz was subdued before them.

² And there remained among the Bnei Yisroel shivah shevatim (seven tribes), which had not yet received their nachalah.

³ And Yehoshua said unto the Bnei Yisroel, How long are ye mitrapim (slack ones, cowardly) going to take to go in and possess HaAretz, which Hashem Elohei Avoteichem hath given you?

⁴ Appoint from among you shloshah anashim for each tribe; and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through and survey the land, and write down a description of it, according to the nachalah of each; and they shall come again to me.

⁵ And they shall divide it into shivah chalakim (seven portions); Yehudah shall abide in their territory on the south, and Bais Yosef shall abide in their territory on the north.

⁶ Ye shall therefore write a description of HaAretz in shivah chalakim, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast goral for you here before Hashem Eloheinu.

⁷ But the Levi’im have no chelek among you; for the Kehunah Hashem is their nachalah; and Gad, and Reuven, and the half tribe of Menasheh, have received their nachalah beyond the Yarden on the east, which Moshe Eved Hashem gave them.

⁸ And the men arose, and went away; and Yehoshua charged them that went to map HaAretz, saying, Go and survey the land, and write a description of it, and come again to me, that I may here cast goral for you before Hashem in Shiloh.

⁹ And the men went and passed through HaAretz, and described it by towns in shivah chalakim in a sefer, and came again to Yehoshua to the machaneh at Shiloh.

¹⁰ And Yehoshua cast goral for them in Shiloh before Hashem; and there Yehoshua divided HaAretz unto the Bnei Yisroel according to their portions.

¹¹ And the goral of the tribe of the Bnei Binyamin came up according to their mishpekhot; and the territory of their goral (allotment) came forth between the Bnei Yehudah and the Bnei Yosef.

¹² And their boundary on the north side was from the Yarden; and the boundary went up along the side of Yericho on the north, and went up through the har westward; and ended at the midbar of Beit Aven.

¹³ And the boundary went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Beit-El) southward; and the boundary descended to Atarot Adar, near the har that lieth on the south side of the Lower Beit Choron.

¹⁴ And the boundary ran from there and extended around the west side southward, from the har that lieth before Beit Choron southward; and ends at Kiryat Ba’al, which is Kiryat Ye’arim, a town of the Bnei Yehudah; this was the west side.

¹⁵ And the southern side was from the end of Kiryat Ye’arim, and the boundary went out on the west, and went out to the ma’ayan (spring) of the waters of Nephtoach;

¹⁶ And the boundary came down to the foot of the har that lieth before the Ben Hinnom Valley, and which is in the Emek Repha’im on the north, and descended to the Hinnom Valley, to the south of the Yevusi, and descended to Ein Rogel,

¹⁷ And ran from the north, and went to Ein Shemesh, and went toward Gelilot, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and descended to the Even Bohan ben Reuven,

¹⁸ And passed along toward the slope opposite Aravah northward, and went down unto the Aravah;

¹⁹ And the boundary passed along to the slope of Beit Choglah northward; and the end of the boundary was at the north bay of the Yam HaMelach (the Salt Sea, the Dead Sea) at the south end of the Yarden; this was the southern boundary.

²⁰ And the Yarden was the boundary of it on the east side. This was the nachalah of the Bnei Binyamin, to its boundaries all around, according to their mishpekhot.

²¹ Now the towns of the tribe of the Bnei Binyamin according to their mishpekhot were Yericho, and Beit Choglah, and the valley of Ketzitz,

²² And Beit HaAravah, and Tzemarayim, and Beit-El,

²³ And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

²⁴ And Chephar Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; 12 towns with their villages.

²⁵ Giveon, and Ramah, and Be’erot,

²⁶ And Mitzpeh, and Kephirah, and Motzah,

²⁷ And Rekem, and Yirpe’el, and Taralah,

²⁸ And Tzelah, Eleph, and Yevusi, which is Yerushalayim, Givat, and Kiryat; 14 towns with their villages. This is the nachalah of the Bnei Binyamin according to their mishpekhot.

19 And 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.

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

³ And Chatzar Shual, and Balah, and Atzem,

⁴ And Eltolad, and Beitul, and Chormah,

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

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

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

⁸ And 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.

⁹ Out 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.

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

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

¹² And 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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰ And Rabit, and Kishyon, and Evetz,

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

²² And 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.

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

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

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

²⁷ And 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,

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

²⁹ And 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;

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

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

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

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

³⁴ And 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.

³⁷ And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Ein Chatzor,

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

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

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

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

⁴² And Shaalabbin, and Ayalon, and Yitlah,

⁴³ And Eilon, and Timnah, and Ekron,

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

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

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

⁴⁷ And 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.

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

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

⁵⁰ According 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.

⁵¹ These are hanechalot (the inheritances), which Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua 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.
