5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the
border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went
about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out
at Jordan.
8 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof
were at the sea. This isthe inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim wereamong the inheritance of the
children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among
the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he wasthe firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for
Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore
he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 There was also a lotfor the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the
children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the
children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were
the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh,
had no sons, but daughters: and these arethe names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah,
Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before
the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren.
Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the
brethren of their father.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which wereon
the other side Jordan;
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of
Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that liethbefore Shechem; and the
border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.
8 NowManasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belongedto the
children of Ephraim;
9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim
areamong the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also wason the north side of the river,
and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
10 Southward it wasEphraim's, and northward it wasManasseh's, and the sea is his border; and
they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her
towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and
the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even
three countries.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants ofthose cities; but the
Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the
Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me butone lot and
one portion to inherit, seeing I ama great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me
15 And Joshua answered them, If thou bea great people, thenget thee up to the wood country,
and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim
be too narrow for thee.
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that
dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both theywho areof Bethshean and her
towns, and theywho areof the valley of Jezreel.
17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, evento Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou
arta great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it isa wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the
outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron
chariots, andthough they bestrong.
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up
the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received
their inheritance.
3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long areye slack to go to possess the land,
which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
4 Give out from among you three men for eachtribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise,
and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall
come againto me.
5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the
house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6 Ye shall therefore describe the land intoseven parts, and bring the descriptionhither to me,
that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD istheir inheritance:
and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond
Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land,
saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast
lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a
book, and came againto Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land
unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and
the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of
Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out
thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which isBethel,
southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that liethon the south side of
the nether Bethhoron.
14 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the
hill that liethbefore Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal,
which isKirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this wasthe west quarter.
15 And the south quarter wasfrom the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the
west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that liethbefore the valley of the son
which isin the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of
Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward
Geliloth, which isover against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan
the son of Reuben,
18 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto
Arabah:
19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the
border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this wasthe south coast.
20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This wasthe inheritance of the children of
Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were
Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which isJerusalem, Gibeath, andKirjath; fourteen cities with
their villages. This isthe inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
1 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, evenfor the tribe of the children of Simeon
according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of
Judah.
2 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,
3 And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,
4 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5 And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,
6 And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:
7 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:
8 And all the villages that wereround about these cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south.
This isthe inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.
9 Out of the portion of the children of Judah wasthe inheritance of the children of Simeon: for
the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had
their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the
border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:
11 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and
reached to the river that isbefore Jokneam;
12 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and
then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,
13 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out
to Remmonmethoar to Neah;
14 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are
in the valley of Jiphthahel:
15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their
villages.
16 This isthe inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities
with their villages.
