Joshua 19:7-26 Amplified Bible (AMP)

7. Ain [with] Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; [making] four cities and their villages;

8. And all the villages around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, or Ramah of the Negeb. This was the possession of the Simeonites according to their families.

9. Out of the part assigned to the Judahites was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon, for the portion of the tribe of Judah was too large for them. Therefore the tribe of Simeon had its inheritance in the midst of Judah's inheritance.

10. The third lot came up for the tribe of Zebulun according to their families. The border of its inheritance extended to Sarid.

11. Then its boundary went up westward and on to Maralah and reached to Dabbesheth and to the brook east of Jokneam.

12. And it turned from Sarid eastward to the border of Chisloth-tabor and it went out to Daberath and on up to Japhia,

13. Then passed eastward to Gath-hepher [Jonah's birthplace] and to Eth-kazin, and went on to Rimmon bending toward Neah.

14. The boundary circled on the north to Hannathon, ending at the Valley of Iphtah-el.

15. Included were Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages.

16. This is the inheritance of the people of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

17. The fourth lot fell to Issachar, to its people according to their families.

18. Their territory included: Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem,

19. Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,

20. Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

21. Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez.

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

23. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

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

25. Their territory included: Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,

26. Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal; and on the west it touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath.
