Land allotted to Joshua
49When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them, 50as the Lord had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for – Timnath Serah19:50 Also known as Timnath Heres (see Judges 2:9) in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there.
51These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. And so they finished dividing the land.

48Essas cidades com os seus povoados foram a herança da tribo de Dã, clã por clã.
As Terras Dadas a Josué
49Quando terminaram de dividir a terra em territórios delimitados, os israelitas deram a Josué, filho de Num, uma herança no meio deles, 50como o Senhor tinha ordenado. Deram-lhe a cidade que ele havia pedido, Timnate-Sera19.50 Também conhecida como Timnate-Heres. Veja Jz 2.9., nos montes de Efraim, onde ele reconstruiu a cidade e se estabeleceu.
51Foram esses os territórios que o sacerdote Eleazar, Josué, filho de Num, e os chefes dos clãs das tribos de Israel repartiram por sorteio em Siló, na presença do Senhor, à entrada da Tenda do Encontro. E assim terminaram de dividir a terra.
