Their inheritance was > within the territory of > Judah. In their inheritance they had: > Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah, > Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem, > Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, > Ziklag, Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susah, > Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen- > thirteen towns and their villages. > Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan- > four towns and their villages-plus all the villages around these > towns as far as Baalath Beer, > the Ramah of the Negev. > > 8-9 This is the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon according to its clans. > The inheritance of > Simeon came out of the share of Judah, because Judah's portion > turned out to be more than they needed. That's how the people of Simeon > came to get their lot from > within Judah's portion. > > Zebulun > 10-15 The third lot went to Zebulun, clan by clan: > > The border of their inheritance went all the way to Sarid. It ran west > to Maralah, met > Dabbesheth, and then went to the brook opposite Jokneam. In the > other direction from Sarid, the border ran east; it followed the sunrise > to the border of Kisloth > Tabor, on to Daberath and up to Japhia. It continued > east to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin, came out at Rimmon, and turned toward > Neah. There the border went > around on the north to Hannathon and ran out into > the Valley of Iphtah El. It included Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, > and Bethlehem-twelve cities > with their villages. > > 16 This is the inheritance of the people of Zebulun for their clans-these > towns and their villages. > > Issachar > 17-21 The fourth lot went to Issachar, clan by clan. Their territory > included: > Jezreel, Kesulloth, Shunem, > Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath, > Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez, > Remeth, En Gannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez. > > 22 The boundary touched Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh and ended at > the Jordan-sixteen towns > and their villages. > > 23 These towns with their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of > Issachar, clan by clan. > > Asher > 24 The fifth lot went to the tribe of Asher, clan by clan: > > 25-30 Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Acshaph, Allammelech, > Amad, and Mishal. The > western border touched Carmel and Shihor Libnath, then > turned east toward Beth Dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah > El, and went north to Beth > Emek and Neiel, skirting Cabul on the left. It went > on to Abdon, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, all the way to Greater Sidon. The > border circled back toward > Ramah, extended to the fort city of Tyre, turned toward > Hosah, and came out at the Sea in the region of Aczib, Ummah, Aphek, and > Rehob-twenty-two towns and > their villages. > > 31 These towns and villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Asher, > clan by clan. > > Naphtali > 32 The sixth lot came to Naphtali and its clans. > > 33 Their border ran from Heleph, from the oak at Zaanannim, passing Adami > Nekeb and Jabneel to > Lakkum and ending at the Jordan. > > 34 The border returned on the west at Aznoth Tabor and came out at Hukkok, > meeting Zebulun on the > south, Asher on the west, and the Jordan on the east. > > The fort cities were: > 35-38 Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth, > Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, > Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor, > Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh- > nineteen towns and their villages. > > 39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali, the cities and their > villages, clan by clan. > > Dan > 40-46 The seventh lot fell to Dan. The territory of their inheritance > included: > Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh, > Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, > Elon, Timnah, Ekron, > Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, > Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon, > Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the region facing Joppa. > > 47 But the people of Dan failed to get rid of the Westerners (Amorites), > who pushed them back into > the hills. The Westerners kept them out of the plain > and they didn't have enough room. So the people of Dan marched up and > attacked Leshem. They took it, > killed the inhabitants, and settled in. They renamed > it Leshem Dan after the name of Dan their ancestor. > > 48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, according to its clans, > these towns with their > villages. > > 49-50 They completed the dividing of the land as inheritance and the > setting of its boundaries. The > People of Israel then gave an inheritance among them > to Joshua son of Nun. In obedience to God's word, they gave him the city > which he had requested, > Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim. He rebuilt > the city and settled there. > > 51 These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of > Nun and the ancestral > leaders assigned by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh > in the presence of God at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. They > completed the dividing of the > land. > > Joshua 20 > > Asylum-Cities > 1-3 Then God spoke to Joshua: "Tell the People of Israel: Designate the > asylum-cities, as I > instructed you through Moses, so that anyone who kills a person > accidentally-that is, unintentionally-may flee there as a safe place of > asylum from the avenger of > blood. > > 4 "A person shall escape for refuge to one of these cities, stand at the > entrance to the city gate, > and lay out his case before the city's leaders. The > leaders must then take him into the city among them and give him a place > to live with them. > > 5-6 "If the avenger of blood chases after him, they must not give him > up-he didn't intend to kill > the person; there was no history of ill-feeling. He may > stay in that city until he has stood trial before the congregation and > until the death of the > current high priest. Then he may go back to his own home > in his hometown from which he fled." > > 7 They set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hills of Naphtali, Shechem in > the hills of Ephraim, and > Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hills of Judah. > > 8-9 On the other side of the Jordan, east of Jericho, they designated > Bezer on the desert plateau > from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe > of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh. These were the > designated cities for the > People of Israel and any resident foreigner living among > them, so that anyone who killed someone unintentionally could flee there > and not die by the hand of > the avenger of blood without a fair trial before the > congregation. > > Joshua 21 > > Cities for the Levites > 1-2The ancestral heads of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and > Joshua son of Nun and to the > heads of the other tribes of the People of Israel. This > took place at Shiloh in the land of Canaan. They said, "God commanded > through Moses that you give us > cities to live in with access to pastures for our > cattle." > > 3 So the People of Israel, out of their own inheritance, gave the Levites, > just as God commanded, > the following cities and pastures: > > 4-5 The lot came out for the families of the Kohathites this way: Levites > descended from Aaron the > priest received by lot thirteen cities out of the tribes > of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin. The rest of the Kohathites received by lot > ten cities from the > families of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe > of Manasseh. > > 6 The Gershonites received by lot thirteen cities from the families of the > tribes of Issachar, > Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan. > > 7 The families of the Merarites received twelve towns from the tribes of > Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun. > > 8 So the People of Israel gave these cities with their pastures to the > Levites just as God had > ordered through Moses, that is, by lot. > > Cities for the Descendants of Aaron > 9-10 They assigned from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin the > following towns, here named > individually (these were for the descendants of Aaron > who were from the families of the Kohathite branch of Levi because the > first lot fell to them): > > 11-12 Kiriath Arba (Arba was the ancestor of Anak), that is, Hebron, in > the hills of Judah, with > access to the pastures around it. The fields of the city > and its open lands they had already given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his > possession. > > 13-16 To the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron (the > asylum-city for the unconvicted > killers), Libnah, Jattir, Eshtemoa, Holon, Debir, Ain, > Juttah, and Beth Shemesh, all with their accompanying pastures-nine towns > from these two tribes. > > 17-18 And from the tribe of Benjamin: Gibeon, Geba, Anathoth, and Almon, > together with their > pastures-four towns. > > 19 The total for the cities and pastures for the priests descended from > Aaron came to thirteen. > > 20-22 The rest of the Kohathite families from the tribe of Levi were > assigned their cities by lot > from the tribe of Ephraim: Shechem (the asylum-city for > the unconvicted killer) in the hills of Ephraim, Gezer, Kibzaim, and Beth > Horon, with their > pastures-four towns. > > 23-24 From the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Aijalon, and > Gath Rimmon, all with > their pastures-four towns. > > 25 And from the half-tribe of Manasseh they received Taanach and Gath > Rimmon with their > pastures-two towns. > > 26 All told, ten cities with their pastures went to the remaining > Kohathite families. > > 27 The Gershonite families of the tribe of Levi were given from the > half-tribe of Manasseh: Golan > in Bashan (an asylum-city for the unconvicted killer), > and Be Eshtarah, with their pastures-two cities. > > 28-29 And from the tribe of Issachar: Kishion, Daberath, Jarmuth, and En > Gannim, with their > pastures-four towns. > > 30-31 From the tribe of Asher: Mishal, Abdon, Helkath, and Rehob, with > their pastures-four towns. > > 32 From the tribe of Naphtali: Kedesh in Galilee (an asylum-city for the > unconvicted killer), > Hammoth Dor, and Kartan, with their pastures-three towns. > > 33 For the Gershonites and their families: thirteen towns with their > pastures. > > 34-35 The Merari families, the remaining Levites, were given from the > tribe of Zebulun: Jokneam, > Kartah, Dimnah, and Nahalal, with their pastures-four > cities. > > 36-37 From the tribe of Reuben: Bezer, Jahaz, Kedemoth, and Mephaath, with > their pastures-four > towns. > > 38-39 From the tribe of Gad: Ramoth in Gilead (an asylum-city for the > uncon-victed killer), > Mahanaim, Heshbon, and Jazer, with their pastures-a total of > four towns. > > 40 All these towns were assigned by lot to the Merarites, the remaining > Levites-twelve towns. > > 41-42 The Levites held forty-eight towns with their accompanying pastures > within the territory of > the People of Israel.
