1 Det næste stykke land tilfaldt ved lodtrækning klanerne i Simeons stamme. Landet var en del af det område, som Judas stamme tidligere havde fået tildelt.2 Deres arvelod omfattede følgende byer med tilhørende landsbyer: Be’ersheba, Molada,3 Hatzar-Shual, Bala, Etzem,4 Eltolad, Betul, Horma,5 Ziklag, Bet-Markabot, Hatzar-Susa,6 Bet-Lebaot og Sharuhen, i alt 13 byer med tilhørende landsbyer.7 Desuden Ajin, Rimmon, Eter og Ashan, i alt fire byer med tilhørende landsbyer.8 Disse byer med tilhørende landsbyer strakte sig sydpå helt til Ba’alat-Be’er, der også kaldes Ramat-Negev.9 Simeons arvelod var altså en udstykning af Judas oprindelige territorium, der alligevel var for stort til judæerne.10 Det tredje lod faldt på Zebulons stamme, som nu fik tildelt sit territorium. Grænsen løb syd for Sarid11 i en bue mod vest forbi Marala til Dabbeshet, og videre indtil den nåede wadien øst for Jokneam.12 I modsat retning løb grænsen østpå fra Sarid til Kislot-Tabors grænse og videre til Daberat og op til Jafia.13 Derfra fortsatte den øst om Gat-Hefer til Et-Katzin videre til Rimmon og drejede så mod Nea.14 Den nordlige grænse gik forbi Hannaton og endte i Jifta-El-dalen.15-16 Foruden de nævnte byer indbefattede området også byerne Kattat, Nahalal, Shimron, Jidala og Betlehem.[1] Det var i alt 12 byer med tilhørende landsbyer.17 Som nummer fire fik Issakars stamme tildelt sit territorium.18 Området omfattede: Jizre’el, Kesulot, Shunem,19 Hafarajim, Shion, Anaharat,20 Rabbit, Kishjon, Ebes,21-23 Remet, En-Gannim, En-Hadda, Bet-Passes, Tabor, Shahatzuma og Bet-Shemesh, i alt 16 byer med tilhørende landsbyer. Issakars østgrænse fulgte Jordanfloden.24 Det femte lod faldt på Ashers stamme.25 Deres område omfattede følgende byer: Helkat, Hali, Beten, Akshaf,26 Alammelek, Amad og Mishal. Den vestlige grænse gik sydpå fra Karmel til wadi Shihor-Libna,27 drejede østpå mod Bet-Dagon og stødte op til Zebulons grænse i Jifta-El-dalen. Herfra gik grænsen nordpå, så området kom til at indeholde Bet-ha-Emek, Neiel, Kabul,28 Abdon, Rehob, Hammon og Kana, tæt på Storsidon.29 Derfra bøjede grænsen af nord for Rama og gik i retning af den befæstede by Tyrus for at ende ved Hosa ved Middelhavet. Området indbefattede også byerne Mehalleb, Akzib,30-31 Umma, (Akko), Afek og Rehob, i alt 22 byer med tilhørende landsbyer.32 Som nummer seks fik Naftalis stamme tildelt sit territorium.33 Sydgrænsen løb fra Helef, fra egen ved Sa’anannim, syd om Adami-Nekeb til Jabne’el og Lakkum for at ende ved Jordanfloden.34 Den vestlige grænse gik nordpå fra Aznot-Tabor i retning af Hukok. Naftalis område stødte op til Asher mod vest, Zebulons mod syd og Jordanfloden mod øst.35 De befæstede byer i området omfattede Siddim, Ser, Hammat, Rakkat, Kinneret,36 Adama, Rama, Hatzor,37 Kedesh, Edrei, En-Hatzor,38-39 Jiron, Migdal-El, Horem, Bet-Anat og Bet-Shemesh. I alt var der 19 byer med tilhørende landsbyer.40 Til syvende og sidst fik Dans stamme tildelt sit territorium ved lodtrækning.41 Byerne i dette område var Zora, Eshtaol, Ir-Shemesh,42 Sha’alabbin, Ajjalon, Jitla,43 Elon, Timna, Ekron,44 Elteke, Gibbeton, Ba’alat,45 Jehud, Bene-Berak, Gat-Rimmon,46 Me-ha-Jarkon, Rakkon og området ved Jafo.47-48 Danitterne kunne dog ikke fastholde deres område, og derfor tog de op til byen Leshem,[2] udryddede indbyggerne og slog sig ned der. Fra da af kaldte de byen Dan efter deres forfar.49 Således blev hele landet fordelt mellem Israels stammer efter de grænser, som her er nævnt. Også Josva fik tildelt et stykke jord,50 for Herren havde lovet, at han kunne tage en hvilken som helst by, han ønskede. Josva valgte Timnat-Sera i Efraims højland, genopbyggede byen og slog sig ned der.51 Fordelingen af landet fandt sted ved lodtrækning for Herrens ansigt ved indgangen til åbenbaringsteltet i Shilo under Eleazars, Josvas og ledernes opsyn.

1 The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the people of Simeon, according to their clans, and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the people of Judah. (1.Mos 49,7; Josva 19,9)2 And they had for their inheritance Beersheba, Sheba, Moladah, (1.Krøn 4,28)3 Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem,4 Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,5 Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah,6 Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities with their villages;7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities with their villages,8 together with all the villages around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Simeon according to their clans.9 The inheritance of the people of Simeon formed part of the territory of the people of Judah. Because the portion of the people of Judah was too large for them, the people of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance. (Josva 19,1)10 The third lot came up for the people of Zebulun, according to their clans. And the territory of their inheritance reached as far as Sarid.11 Then their boundary goes up westward and on to Mareal and touches Dabbesheth, then the brook that is east of Jokneam. (1.Mos 49,13; Josva 12,22; Josva 18,14; Josva 21,34)12 From Sarid it goes in the other direction eastward toward the sunrise to the boundary of Chisloth-tabor. From there it goes to Daberath, then up to Japhia.13 From there it passes along on the east toward the sunrise to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and going on to Rimmon it bends toward Neah,14 then on the north the boundary turns about to Hannathon, and it ends at the Valley of Iphtahel;15 and Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem—twelve cities with their villages. (Josva 11,1)16 This is the inheritance of the people of Zebulun, according to their clans—these cities with their villages.17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, for the people of Issachar, according to their clans.18 Their territory included Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem, (1.Sam 28,4)19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,20 Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,21 Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, Beth-pazzez.22 The boundary also touches Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and its boundary ends at the Jordan—sixteen cities with their villages.23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Issachar, according to their clans—the cities with their villages.24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the people of Asher according to their clans.25 Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,26 Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west it touches Carmel and Shihor-libnath, (1.Kong 18,19; 1.Kong 18,42; 2.Kong 2,25; 2.Kong 4,25; Høj 7,5; Es 33,9; Jer 50,19)27 then it turns eastward, it goes to Beth-dagon, and touches Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel. Then it continues in the north to Cabul, (1.Kong 9,13)28 Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, Kanah, as far as Sidon the Great. (Josva 11,8; Dom 1,31)29 Then the boundary turns to Ramah, reaching to the fortified city of Tyre. Then the boundary turns to Hosah, and it ends at the sea; Mahalab,[1] Achzib,30 Ummah, Aphek and Rehob—twenty-two cities with their villages.31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Asher according to their clans—these cities with their villages.32 The sixth lot came out for the people of Naphtali, for the people of Naphtali, according to their clans.33 And their boundary ran from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and it ended at the Jordan. (Dom 4,11)34 Then the boundary turns westward to Aznoth-tabor and goes from there to Hukkok, touching Zebulun at the south and Asher on the west and Judah on the east at the Jordan. (5.Mos 33,23)35 The fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth, (Josva 11,2)36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, (Josva 11,1)37 Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor,38 Yiron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh—nineteen cities with their villages.39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Naphtali according to their clans—the cities with their villages.40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the people of Dan, according to their clans.41 And the territory of its inheritance included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh,42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, (Dom 1,35)43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron,44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,45 Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon,46 and Me-jarkon and Rakkon with the territory over against Joppa. (2.Krøn 2,16; Ez 3,7)47 When the territory of the people of Dan was lost to them, the people of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and after capturing it and striking it with the sword they took possession of it and settled in it, calling Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor. (Dom 1,34; Dom 18,1)48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Dan, according to their clans—these cities with their villages.49 When they had finished distributing the several territories of the land as inheritances, the people of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun.50 By command of the Lord they gave him the city that he asked, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he rebuilt the city and settled in it. (Josva 24,30; Dom 2,9)51 These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel distributed by lot at Shiloh before the Lord, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land. (4.Mos 34,17; Josva 14,1; Josva 18,1)
