9From the portion of Juda was taken the inheritance of the tribe of the Symeonites; because the portion of the children of Juda was too large for them, therefore the children of Symeon got an inheritance in the midst of their portion.

11Esedekgola, the sea and Magalda, were to be their boundaries, and their boundary was to join upon Baitharaba, at the valley which is in front of Jekman:

12then it turned up from Sedduck, from the east of Baithsamys, along the borders of Chaselothaith, and was to turn off to Dabiroth, and go up to Phaggai;

13thence to come round on the other side, eastward, to Gebere, by the city Katesem, and pass on by Remmonaa Matharoza;

26and Elimelech, and Amiel, and Maasa, and to join on Karmelo, westward, and on Sion and Labanath,

27and to turn from the rising of the sun, and Baithegeneth, and to join Zabulon, and Ekgai, and Phthaiel, on the north; then the boundary is to come to Saphthaibaithme, and Inael, and turn off to Chobamasomel,

28and Elbon, and Raab, and Ememaon, and Kanthan, till it reached great Sidon;

29Then the boundary is to turn up to Rama, and to the fountain Masphasset, and the Tyrians; Then the boundary is to turn up to Jasiph; and the termination of it is to be the sea,

30including Apoleb, and Echozob, and Archob, and Aphek, and Raau;

31this was the inheritance of the children of Aser, according to their communities, including their cities and their villages.

33and their borders were Moolam, and Mola, and Besemin, and Arme, and Naboch, and Jephthamai, even to Dodam, and the terminations were the Jordan;

34then their boundary was to turn westward, by Aththabor, and then turn off to Jakana, and join Zabulon on the south, and Aser on the west, and Jordan on the east.

35Now the fenced cities of the Tyrians, were Tyre and Omathadaketh, and Kenereth,

36and Armaith, and Arael, and Asor,

37and Kades, and Assari, and Bathaser,

44and Alkatha, and Begethon, and Gebeelan,

46and on the west of Jerakon, the border near Joppa.

47This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Danites, according to their communities, including their cities and their villages. But the children of Dan did not root out the Amorites who distressed them on the mountains, and the Amorites did not suffer them to come down into the valley. Nay they took from them the border of their portion.

48Whereupon the children of Dan went and made war on Lachis, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and dwelt there, and called its name Lasen Dan. The Amorites continued also to dwell in Elom, and Salamin, but the hand of Ephraim was heavy upon them, and they were made tributaries to them.

50By the command of God, they gave him the city which he asked, namely Thamnasarach, which is on mount Ephraim, and he rebuilt the city, and dwelt there.
