אוַיֵּצֵ֞א הַגּוֹרָ֤ל הַשֵּׁנִי֙ לְשִׁמְע֔וֹן לְמַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־שִׁמְע֖וֹן לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָ֑ם וַֽיְהִי֙ נַחֲלָתָ֔ם בְּת֖וֹךְ נַחֲלַ֥ת בְּנֵי־יְהוּדָֽה׃
1The second lot fell to Simeon. The portion of the tribe of the Simeonites, by their clans, lay inside the portion of the Judahites.
בוַיְהִ֥י לָהֶ֖ם בְּנַחֲלָתָ֑ם בְּאֵֽר־שֶׁ֥בַע וְשֶׁ֖בַע וּמוֹלָדָֽה׃
2Their portion comprised: Beer-sheba—or Sheba—Moladah,
גוַחֲצַ֥ר שׁוּעָ֛ל וּבָלָ֖ה וָעָֽצֶם׃
3Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem,
דוְאֶלְתּוֹלַ֥ד וּבְת֖וּל וְחׇרְמָֽה׃
4Eltolad, Bethul,a Hormah,
הוְצִֽקְלַ֥ג וּבֵית־הַמַּרְכָּב֖וֹת וַחֲצַ֥ר סוּסָֽה׃
5Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah,
ווּבֵ֥ית לְבָא֖וֹת וְשָׁרוּחֶ֑ן עָרִ֥ים שְׁלֹשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃
6Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhenb—13 towns, with their villages.
זעַ֥יִן׀רִמּ֖וֹן וָעֶ֣תֶר וְעָשָׁ֑ן עָרִ֥ים אַרְבַּ֖ע וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃
7Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan: 4 towns, with their villages—
חוְכׇל־הַחֲצֵרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר סְבִיבוֹת֙ הֶעָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה עַד־בַּ֥עֲלַת בְּאֵ֖ר רָ֣אמַת נֶ֑גֶב זֹ֗את נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־שִׁמְע֖וֹן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃
8together with all the villages in the vicinity of those towns, down to Baalath-beer [and] Ramath-negeb. That was the portion of the tribe of the Simeonites, by their clans.
טמֵחֶ֙בֶל֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה נַחֲלַ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י שִׁמְע֑וֹן כִּֽי־הָיָ֞ה חֵ֤לֶק בְּנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה֙ רַ֣ב מֵהֶ֔ם וַיִּנְחֲל֥וּ בְנֵֽי־שִׁמְע֖וֹן בְּת֥וֹךְ נַחֲלָתָֽם׃
9The portion of the Simeonites was part of the territory of the Judahites; since the share of the Judahites was larger than they needed, the Simeonites received a portion inside their portion.
יוַיַּ֙עַל֙ הַגּוֹרָ֣ל הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י לִבְנֵ֥י זְבוּלֻ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם וַיְהִ֛י גְּב֥וּל נַחֲלָתָ֖ם עַד־שָׂרִֽיד׃
10The third lot emerged for the Zebulunites, by their clans. The boundary of their portion: Starting at Sarid,
יאוְעָלָ֨ה גְבוּלָ֧ם׀לַיָּ֛מָּה וּמַרְעֲלָ֖ה וּפָגַ֣ע בְּדַבָּ֑שֶׁת וּפָגַע֙ אֶל־הַנַּ֔חַל אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י יׇקְנְעָֽם׃
11their boundaryc ascended westward to Maralah, touching Dabbesheth and touching the wadi alongside Jokneam.
יבוְשָׁ֣ב מִשָּׂרִ֗יד קֵ֚דְמָה מִזְרַ֣ח הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ עַל־גְּב֥וּל כִּסְלֹ֖ת תָּבֹ֑ר וְיָצָ֥א אֶל־הַדָּבְרַ֖ת וְעָלָ֥ה יָפִֽיעַ׃
12And it also ran from Sarid along the eastern side, where the sun rises, past the territory of Chisloth-tabor and on to Daberath and ascended to Japhia.
יגוּמִשָּׁ֤ם עָבַר֙ קֵ֣דְמָה מִזְרָ֔חָה גִּתָּ֥ה חֵ֖פֶר עִתָּ֣ה קָצִ֑ין וְיָצָ֛א רִמּ֥וֹן הַמְּתֹאָ֖ר הַנֵּעָֽה׃
13From there it ran [back] to the east, toward the sunrise, to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and on to Rimmon, where it curved to Neah.
ידוְנָסַ֤ב אֹתוֹ֙ הַגְּב֔וּל מִצְּפ֖וֹן חַנָּתֹ֑ן וְהָיוּ֙ תֹּצְאֹתָ֔יו גֵּ֖י יִפְתַּח־אֵֽל׃
14Then it turned—that is, the boundary on the north—to Hannathon. Its extreme limitsd were the Valley of Iphtah-el,

16That was the portion of the Zebulunites by their clans—those towns, with their villages.
יזלְיִ֨שָּׂשכָ֔ר יָצָ֖א הַגּוֹרָ֣ל הָרְבִיעִ֑י לִבְנֵ֥י יִשָּׂשכָ֖ר לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם׃
17The fourth lot fell to Issachar, the Issacharites by their clans.

22The boundary touched Tabor, Shahazimah, and Beth-shemesh; and their boundary ran to the Jordan: 16 towns, with their villages.

23That was the portion of the tribe of the Issacharites, by their clans—the towns with their villages.

26Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal; and it touched Carmel on the west, and Shihor-libnath.
כזוְשָׁ֨ב מִזְרַ֣ח הַשֶּׁ֘מֶשׁ֮ בֵּ֣ית דָּגֹן֒ וּפָגַ֣ע בִּ֠זְבֻל֠וּן וּבְגֵ֨י יִפְתַּח־אֵ֥ל צָפ֛וֹנָה בֵּ֥ית הָעֵ֖מֶק וּנְעִיאֵ֑ל וְיָצָ֥א אֶל־כָּב֖וּל מִשְּׂמֹֽאל׃

47But the territory of the Danites slipped from their grasp. So the Danites migrated and made war on Leshem.k They captured it and put it to the sword; they took possession of it and settled in it. And they changed the name of Leshem to Dan, after their ancestor Dan.

50At GOD’s command they gave him the town that he asked for, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim; he fortified the town and settled in it.
נאאֵ֣לֶּה הַנְּחָלֹ֡ת אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִחֲל֣וּ אֶלְעָזָ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֣ן׀וִיהוֹשֻׁ֪עַ בִּן־נ֟וּן וְרָאשֵׁ֣י הָאָב֣וֹת לְמַטּוֹת֩ בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל׀בְּגוֹרָ֤ל׀בְּשִׁלֹה֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד וַיְכַלּ֕וּ מֵחַלֵּ֖ק אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
