7. They also received the towns of Ain, Rimmon, Ether and Ashan. There were 4 towns and all their fields.

8. They also received all the very small areas with people living in them as far as Baalath Beer. (This is the same as Ramah in southern Canaan.) So these were the lands given to the tribe of Simeon. Each family group received some of the land.

9. The land of the Simeonites was taken from part of the land of Judah. Judah had much more land than they needed. So the Simeonites received part of their land.

10. The third part of the land was given to the tribe of Zebulun. Each family group of Zebulun received some of the land. The border of Zebulun went as far as Sarid.

11. Then it went west to Maralah and came near Dabbesheth. Then it went near Jokneam.

12. Then it turned to the east. It went from Sarid to the area of Kisloth Tabor. From there it went on to Daberath and to Japhia.

13. It continued eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin. Then it ended at Rimmon. Then the border turned and went toward Neah.

14. At Neah it turned again and went to the north. It went to Hannathon and continued to the Valley of Iphtah El.

16. So these are the towns and the areas that were given to Zebulun. Each family group received some of the land.

17. The fourth part of the land was given to the tribe of Issachar. Each family group of Issachar received some of the land.

18. Their land included Jezreel, Kesulloth, Shunem,

19. Hapharaim, Shion and Anaharath;

20. Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

21. Remeth, En Gannim, En Haddah and Beth Pazzez.

22. The border of their land touched the area called Tabor, Shahazumah and Beth Shemesh. It stopped at the Jordan River. There were 16 towns and their fields.

23. These cities and towns were part of the land that was given to the tribe of Issachar. Each family group received part of this land.

24. The fifth part of the land was given to the tribe of Asher. Each family group of Asher received some of the land.

25. Their land included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Acshaph,
