10 And the third lot came·​·up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families; And the border of their inheritance was to Sarid:

11 and their border went·​·up toward the sea, and to Maralah, and came·​·upon Dabbasheth, and came·​·upon the brook that is before Jokneam;

12 and it turned·​·back about from Sarid eastward toward the rising of the sun unto the border of Kisloth-tabor; and it went·​·out to Daberath, and went·​·up to Japhia;

24 And the fifth lot came·​·out for the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

27 and it turns·​·back to the rising of the sun to Beth-dagon, and comes·​·upon Zebulun, and to the ravine of Jiphthah-el northward to Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goes·​·out to Cabul on the left.

28 And Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even·​·to great Zidon;

29 and the border turns·​·back to Ramah, and to the fortified city Tyre; and the border turns·​·back to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof were at the sea, from the region to Achzib;

30 and Ummah, and Aphek, and Rehob; twenty and two cities and their villages.

31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families, these cities and their villages.

33 And their border was from Heleph, from the oak that was in Zaanannim and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan.

34 And the border turned·​·back toward the sea to Aznoth-tabor; and went·​·out from thence toward Hukok, and came·​·upon Zebulun from the south; and it came·​·upon Asher from the sea, and upon Judah at the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.

35 And the fortified cities were 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, Chorem, and Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities and their villages.

47 And the border of the sons of Dan went·​·out beyond them; and the sons of Dan went·​·up and fought with Leshem, and captured it, and smote it with the mouth of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, as the name of Dan their father.

48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities and their villages.

49 And they completed giving· the land ·by·​·inheritance according to its borders, and the sons of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in their midst.

50 According to the mouth of Jehovah they gave him the city he asked, Timnath-serach 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 sons of Israel gave·​·for·​·an·​·inheritance by lot in Shiloh, before Jehovah, at the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation. And they completed the parting of the land.

Judges 1

Studie

1 And it was, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked Jehovah, saying, Who shall go·​·up for us in the beginning against the Canaanite to fight·​·against him?

2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go·​·up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.

3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Go·​·up with me into my lot, and we will fight·​·against the Canaanite; and I also will Go with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him.

4 And Judah went·​·up; and Jehovah gave the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand; and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought·​·against him, and they smote the Canaanite and the Perizzite.

6 And Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and they seized him and clipped·​·off the thumbs of his hands and the big toes of his feet.

7 And Adoni-bezek said, Seventy kings, having the thumbs of their hands and the big toes of their feet clipped·​·off, collected food under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me. And they brought· him ·into Jerusalem and he died there.

8 And the sons of Judah fought·​·against Jerusalem, and captured it, and they smote it with the mouth of the sword, and the city they set on fire.

9 And afterwards the sons of Judah went·​·down to fight against the Canaanite dwelling in the mountain and in the south and in the lowland.

10 And Judah went against the Canaanite that dwelt in Hebron; and the name of Hebron before was Kiriath-arba: and they smote Sheshai and Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 And from there he went to those who dwelt in Debir; and the name of Debir before was Kiriath-sepher.

12 And Caleb said, He who smites Kiriath-sepher and captures her, then to him I will give Achsah my daughter for a wife.

13 And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb who was younger than he, captured her; and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

14 And it was, when she came, that she incited him to ask from her father the field; and she got·​·down from upon the donkey, and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou have?

15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me the land of the south; Give me also wellsprings of waters; and Caleb gave to her the upper wellsprings and the lower wellsprings.

16 And the sons of the Kenite, the father-in-law of Moses, went·​·up from the city of palm·​·trees* with the sons of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.

17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanite that dwelt in Zephath and doomed it; and the name of the city was called Hormah.

18 And Judah captured Gaza with her border, and Ashkelon with her border, and Ekron with her border.

19 And Jehovah was with Judah, and he dispossessed those of the mountain; but he could not dispossess those who dwelt·​·in the valley, for they had chariots of iron.

20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said; and he dispossessed thence the three sons of Anak.

21 And the sons of Benjamin did not dispossess the Jebusite dwelling·​·in Jerusalem, but the Jebusite dwells with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem even·​·to this day.

22 And the house of Joseph went·​·up, they also, to Bethel; and Jehovah was with them.

23 And the house of Joseph explored Bethel; and the name of the city before was Luz.

24 And they who kept·​·watch saw a man go·​·out from the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the going·​·in of the city, and we will do mercy with thee.

25 And he showed them the going·​·in of the city, and they smote the city with the mouth of the sword; but the man and all his family they sent·​·away.

26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called her name Luz; this is her name even·​·to this day.

27 And Manasseh did not dispossess Beth-shean and her daughter towns, and Taanach and her daughter towns, and the dwellers of Dor and her daughter towns, and the dwellers of Ibleam and her daughter towns, and the dwellers of Megiddo and her daughter towns; but the Canaanite would dwell in this land.

28 And it was, when Israel was·​·firm, that he set the Canaanite to tribute, but dispossessing did not dispossess him.

29 And Ephraim did not dispossess the Canaanite that dwelt in Gezer; and the Canaanite dwelt in the midst of them in Gezer.

30 Zebulun did not dispossess those dwelling in Kitron, nor those dwelling in Nahalol; but the Canaanite dwelt in among them, and they were under tribute.

31 Asher did not dispossess those dwelling in Accho, nor those dwelling in Zidon, nor in Ahlab, nor in Achzib, nor in Helbah, nor in Aphik, nor in Rehob;

32 and the Asherite dwelt in among the Canaanite dwelling·​·in the land; for they did not dispossess them.

33 Naphtali did not dispossess those dwelling in Beth-shemesh, nor those dwelling in Beth-anath, but he dwelt in among the Canaanite dwelling in the land; but those dwelling in Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were under tribute unto them.

34 And the Amorite pressed· the sons of Dan ·against the mountain, for they would not allow him to go·​·down to the valley.

35 And the Amorite would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the hand of the house of Joseph became·​·heavy and they* were under tribute.

36 And the border of the Amorite was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
