Simeons arvelod

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.

Zebulons arvelod

10 Det tredje lod faldt på Zebulons stamme, som nu fik tildelt sit territorium. Grænsen løb syd for Sarid 11 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.

Issakars arvelod

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.

Ashers arvelod

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.

Naftalis arvelod

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.

Dans arvelod

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.

King James Version

1 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for 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 were round about these cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. 9 Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the 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 is before 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 is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages. 17 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families. 18 And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, 19 And Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath, 20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, 21 And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez; 22 And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. 23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages. 24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. 25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, 26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath; 27 And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand, 28 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon; 29 And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib: 30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages. 31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages. 32 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 33 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: 34 And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising. 35 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, 36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, 37 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor, 38 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages. 39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages. 40 And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. 41 And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh, 42 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah, 43 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron, 44 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath, 45 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon, 46 And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho. 47 And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. 48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. 49 When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them: 50 According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein. 51 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
