Conquest of Canaan

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families: that is, these cities and their villages.

The sixt lot came out to the children of Naphtali, euen to the children of Naphtali according to their families.

And their coast was from Heleph, and from Allon in Zaanannim, and Adaminekeb, and Iabneel, euen to Lakum, and the ends thereof are at Iorden.

So this coast turneth Westwarde to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the Southside, and goeth to Asher on the Westside, and to Iudah by Iorden toward the sunne rising.

And the strong cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Cinneereth,

And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor,

And Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth-anah, and Beth-shemesh: nineteene cities with their villages.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families: that is, the cities and their villages.

The seuenth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh,

And Shaalabbin, and Aiialon, and Ithlah,

And Elon, and Temnathah, and Ekron,

And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalah,

And Iehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon,

And Me-iarkon, and Rakkon, with the border that lieth before Iapho.

But the coastes of the children of Dan fell out too litle for them: therefore the children of Dan went vp to fight against Leshem, and tooke it, and smote it with the edge of the sworde, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan after the name of Dan their father.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the childre of Dan according to their families: that is, these cities and their villages.

When they had made an ende of deuiding the lande by the coastes thereof, then the children of Israel gaue an inheritance vnto Ioshua the sonne of Nun among them.

According to the worde of the Lord they gaue him the citie which hee asked, euen Timnath-serah in mount Ephraim: and hee built the citie and dwelt therein.

These are ye heritages which Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel deuided by lot in Shiloh before the Lord at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: so they made an ende of deuiding the countrey.

The Lord also spake vnto Ioshua, saying,

Speake to the children of Israel, and say, Appoint you cities of refuge, whereof I spake vnto you by the hand of Moses,

That the slaier that killeth any person by ignorance, and vnwittingly, may flee thither, and they shall be your refuge from the auenger of blood.

And he that doeth flee vnto one of those cities, shall stand at the entring of the gate of the citie, and shall shewe his cause to the Elders of the citie: and they shall receiue him into the citie vnto them, and giue him a place, that hee may dwell with them.
