Conquest of Canaan

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher, for their families, these cities and their villages.

For the sons of Naphtali hath the sixth lot gone out, for the sons of Naphtali, for their families;

and their border is from Heleph, from Allon in Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum, and its outgoings are at the Jordan;

and the border hath turned back westward to Aznoth-Tabor, and gone out thence to Hukkok, and touched against Zebulun on the south, and against Asher it hath touched on the west, and against Judah at the Jordan, at the sun-rising;

and the cities of defence are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-Hazor,

and Iron, and Migdal-El, Horem, and Beth-Anath, and Beth-Shemesh; nineteen cities and their villages.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, for their families, the cities and their villages.

For the tribe of the sons of Dan, for their families, hath the seventh lot gone out;

and the border of their inheritance is Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-Shemesh,

and Shalabbin, and Aijalon, and Jethlah,

and Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

and Jehud, and Bene-Barak, and Gath-Rimmon,

and Me-Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over-against Japho.

And the border of the sons of Dan goeth out from them, and the sons of Dan go up and fight with Leshem, and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and possess it, and dwell in it, and call Leshem, Dan, according to the name of Dan their father.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan, for their families, these cities and their villages.

And they finish to give the land in inheritance, by its borders, and the sons of Israel give an inheritance to Joshua son of Nun in their midst;

by the command of Jehovah they have given to him the city which he asked, Timnath-Serah, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and he buildeth the city and dwelleth in it.

These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, have caused to inherit by lot, in Shiloh, before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting; and they finish to apportion the land.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Give for you cities of refuge, as I have spoken unto you by the hand of Moses,

for the fleeing thither of a man-slayer smiting life inadvertently, without knowledge; and they have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer of blood.

`When one hath fled unto one of these cities, and hath stood at the opening of the gate of the city, and hath spoken in the ears of the elders of that city his matter, then they have gathered him into the city unto them, and have given to him a place, and he hath dwelt with them.
