Joshua 19:33-51

³³The border of their land started in the west at the huge oak tree at Zaanannim, near Heleph town. It extended east through Adami-Nekeb city and Jabneel, and then to Lakkum, and ended at the Jordan River.

³⁴The western boundary extended through Aznoth-Tabor as far as Hukkok city. It extended to the borders of the tribe of Zebulun at the south, to the border of the tribe of Asher on the west, and the Jordan River at the east.

³⁵Within their land were several cities with strong walls around them. They were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth,

³⁶Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

³⁷Kedesh, Edrei, En-Hazor,

³⁸Iron, Migdal-El, Horem, Beth-Anath, and Beth-Shemesh. Altogether there were nineteen cities and the surrounding villages.

³⁹Those cities and surrounding villages were in the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Naphtali.

⁴⁰The seventh/last tribe that was allotted land was the tribe of Dan. Each of the clans in that tribe was allotted some of the land.

⁴¹Their land included the towns of Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-Shemesh,

⁴²Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

⁴³Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

⁴⁴Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

⁴⁵Jehud, Bene-Berak, Gath-Rimmon,

⁴⁶Me-Jarkon, Rakkon, and the area near Joppa.

⁴⁷But the people of the tribe of Dan were unable to take control of the land that had been allotted to them. So they went northeast and fought against the people in Leshem city. They defeated and killed all the people who lived there. Then they began to live in Leshem, and changed the name of the city to Dan, the man from whom their tribe descended.

⁴⁸All of those towns and surrounding villages were in the land that was allotted to the clans in the tribe of Dan.

⁴⁹After the Israeli leaders divided the land among the tribes, they allotted some land to Joshua.

⁵⁰They allotted to him Timnath-Serah. Yahweh had said that he could have whatever city he wanted, and that was the city that he chose. It was in the hilly region which was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim. Joshua rebuilt the city and lived there.

⁵¹Those were the areas that were allotted to the various tribes of Israel. Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of each tribe divided up the land while they were all at Shiloh, by ◄casting lots/throwing marked stones► to decide which area each tribe would receive. They did that while Yahweh was watching, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. In that way they completed dividing up the land.
