Land Is Given to Simeon

1The second lot drawn out was for the tribe of Simeon, according to its family groups. The share of land they were given was in the territory of Judah.

2Here is what Simeon’s share included.

7Here’s another list of towns given to Simeon.

Ain, Rimmon, Ether and Ashan. The total number of towns was four. Some of them had villages near them. 8The towns and all the villages around them reached all the way to Ramah in the Negev Desert.

That was the share of land the tribe of Simeon received, according to its family groups. 9Simeon’s share of land was taken from Judah’s share. That’s because Judah had more land than they needed. So the people of Simeon received their share of land inside the territory of Judah.

It came to an end at the Mediterranean Sea in the area of Akzib, 30Ummah, Aphek and Rehob.

Land Is Given to Dan

40The seventh lot drawn out was for the tribe of Dan, according to its family groups. 41Here is what Dan’s share of land included.

47The people of Dan lost their territory. So they went up and attacked Leshem. They captured it. They killed its people with their swords. Then they moved into Leshem and made their homes there. They named it Dan. That’s because they traced their family line back to him.

48All those towns and their villages were the share the tribe of Dan received, according to its family groups.

Land Is Given to Joshua

49The Israelites finished dividing up the shares of land the tribes received. Then they gave a share to Joshua, the son of Nun. 50They did what the Lord had commanded them to do. They gave Joshua the town he asked for. It was Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim. He built up the town and made his home there.

51All those territories were given out by casting lots at Shiloh. The lots were drawn out by Eleazar the priest and by Joshua, the son of Nun. The leaders of the tribes of Israel helped them. The lots were drawn out in front of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So the work of dividing up the land was finished.
