Bible Verses About Amam

Amam, Sh'ma, Moladah,

The second lot came out for Shim'on, for the tribe of the descendants of Shim'on according to their families. Their inheritance was inside the inheritance of the descendants of Y'hudah.

For their inheritance they had Be'er-Sheva, Sheva, Moladah,

Hatzar-Shu'al, Balah, 'Etzem,

El-Tolad, B'tul, Hormah,

Ziklag, Beit-Markavot, Hatzar-Susah,

Beit-L'va'ot and Sharuchen - thirteen cities, together with their villages;

'Ayin, Rimmon, 'Eter and 'Ashan - four cities, together with their villages;

and all the villages surrounding these cities, as far as Ba'alat-Be'er, Ramah of the Negev. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Shim'on according to their families.

The inheritance of the descendants of Shim'on was taken out of the allotment for the descendants of Y'hudah, because the portion given to the descendants of Y'hudah was too much for them, so the descendants of Shim'on had an inheritance inside the descendants of Y'hudah.
