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 family groups in the tribe of Simeon.
9. The land of the Simeonites was taken from part of the land of Judah. Since Judah had much more land than they needed, 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 and then near Jokneam.
12. Then it turned to the east. It went from Sarid to the area of Kisloth Tabor and on to Daberath and to Japhia.
13. It continued eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin, ending at Rimmon. There the border turned and went toward Neah.
14. At Neah it turned again and went to the north to Hannathon and continued to the Valley of Iphtah El.
15. Inside this border were the cities of Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve towns and their villages.
16. So these are the towns and the villages that were given to the family groups of Zebulun.
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, 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 and stopped at the Jordan River. There were sixteen towns and their villages.
23. These cities and towns were part of the land that was given to the family groups of Issachar.
24. The fifth part of the land was given to the tribe of Asher. Each family group of Asher received some of the land.
