The second lot came forth to Simeon; and this is described similarly in the beginning of
Joshua 19:1-8,
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. (Joshua 19:1‑8)
with the added statement that it was out of the portion of Judah Simeon's inheritance was taken, the part of the former being too much for them: and therefore the latter had their portion within their part (vs. 9).
The third lot fell to the children of Zebulun, according to their families; their landmarks are laid down in
Joshua 19:10-16
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. (Joshua 19:10‑16)
.
In the fourth place comes Issachar's allotment, described in
Joshua 19:17-23
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. (Joshua 19:17‑23)
; in the fifth, Asher's, in verses 24-31; in the sixth, that of Naphtali, in verses 32-39; and in the seventh, Dan's, in verses 40-48.
Beautifully is it shown (
Josh. 19:49-50
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. (Joshua 19:49‑50)
) that “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.” Nor is this all: “According to the word of Jehovah they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.” Self-seeking was not in Joshua more than in Moses. Each had his part in what was given to their leader—Jehovah's word, Joshua's petition, and Israel's gift: but not till they had ended their dividing of the land.
