Joshua 19
[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 Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, [3] And Hazar-shual, and
Balah, and Azem, [4] And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, [5] And Ziklag,
and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, [6] And Beth-lebaoth, 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 Baalath-beer, 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
Chisloth-tabor, and then goeth out to daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,
[13] And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to
Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to Remmon-methoar to Neah; [14] And the border
compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are
in the valley of Jiphthah-el: [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 En-gannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez; [22]
And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Beth-shemesh; 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 Shihor-libnath;
[27] And turneth toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reacheth to
Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthah-el toward the north side of
Beth-emek, 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 Aznoth-tabor, 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
En-hazor, [38] And Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth-anath, and
Beth-shemesh; 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 Ir-shemesh,
[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 Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon, [46] And Me-jarkon, 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 Timnath-serah 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.

Joshua 20
[1] The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, [2] Speak to the children of
Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto
you by the hand of Moses: [3] That the slayer that killeth any person
unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge
from the avenger of blood. [4] And when he that doth flee unto one of those
cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall
declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take
him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among
them. [5] And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not
deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour
unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. [6] And he shall dwell in that
city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the
death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer
return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city
from whence he fled. [7] And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount
Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron,
in the mountain of Judah. [8] And on the other side Jordan by Jericho
eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the
tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in
Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
[9] These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for
the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person
at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of
blood, until he stood before the congregation.

Joshua 21
[1] Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the
priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers
of the tribes of the children of Israel; [2] And they spake unto them at
Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our
cattle.
[3] And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their
inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their
suburbs. [4] And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and
the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out
of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe
of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
[5] And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families
of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half
tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
[6] And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe
of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of
Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
[7] The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of
Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun,
twelve cities. [8] And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites
these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses. [9] And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out
of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here
mentioned by name,
[10] Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites,
who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot. [11]
And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is
Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about
it.
[12] But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to
Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. [13] Thus they gave to the
children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of
refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs, [14] And Jattir with
her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs, [15] And Holon with her
suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs, [16] And Ain with her suburbs, and
Juttah with her suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out
of those two tribes. [17] And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her
suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,
[18] Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.
[19] All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen
cities with their suburbs.
[20] And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained
of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the
tribe of Ephraim.
[21] For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs, [22] And Kibzaim
with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs; four cities.
[23] And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with
her suburbs,
[24] Aijalon with her suburbs, Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
[25] And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and
Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; two cities. [26] All the cities were ten with
their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
[27] And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out
of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her
suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beesh-terah with her
suburbs; two cities.
[28] And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh
with her suburbs,
[29] Jarmuth with her suburbs, En-gannim with her suburbs; four cities.
[30] And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her
suburbs,
[31] Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.
[32] And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs,
to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammoth-dor with her suburbs,
and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities. [33] All the cities of the
Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their
suburbs. [34] And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of
the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and
Kartah with her suburbs,
[35] Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities. [36]
And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with
her suburbs,
[37] Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
[38] And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be
a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs, [39]
Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all. [40]
So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were
remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
[41] All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of
Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs. [42] These cities
were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these
cities.
[43] And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto
their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. [44] And the LORD
gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their
fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the
LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. [45] There failed not
ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel;
all came to pass.
