1And the second lot came forth to Shim’on [he who hears], [even] for the tribe of the children of Shim’on [he who hears] according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].

9Out of the portion of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] [was] the inheritance of the children of Shim’on [he who hears]: for the part of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] was too much for them: therefore the children of Shim’on [he who hears] had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
10And the third lot came up for the children of Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place] according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid [Survivor]:

27And turns toward the sunrising to Beit-Dagon [House of the Corn], and reaches to Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place], and to the valley of Yiftach’el [God Opens] toward the north side of Beit-’Emek [house of the valley], and Ne’i’el [moved by God], and goes out to Kavul [binding] on the left hand,
28And Hevron [Seat of Association], and Rechov [Broad Place], and Hamon [warm springs], and Kanah [Reed], [even] unto great Tzidon [Hunting];
29And [then] the coast turns to Ramah [Hill], and to the fortified city Tzor (Tyre) [a rock]; and the coast turns to Hosah [refuge]; and the extreme limits thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achziv [Deceit]:
30‘Umah [union] also, and Aphek [Enclosure], and Rechov [Broad Place]: twenty and two cities with their villages.
31This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher [Happy] according to their families, these cities with their villages.
32The sixth lot came out to the children of Naftali [My Wrestling], [even] for the children of Naftali [My Wrestling] according to their families.
33And their coast was from Helef [exchange], from Alon [oak] to Tza’ananim [removings], and Adami-Nekev [man of Adar - cavern], and Yavne’el [God Causes to Build], unto Lakum [fortification]; and the extreme limits thereof were at Yarden [Descender]:

46And Yarkon [yellow springs], and Rakon [the temple], with the border before Yafo [beautiful].
47And the coast of the children of Dan [Judge] went out [too little] for them: therefore the children of Dan [Judge] went up to fight against Leshem [precious stone], and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt in it, and called Leshem [precious stone], Dan [Judge], after the name of Dan [Judge] their father.
48This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan [Judge] according to their families, these cities with their villages.
49When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] gave an inheritance to Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] the son of Nun [Posterity] among them:
50According to the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) they gave him the city which he asked, [even] Timnat-Serach [portion of the sun] in mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful]: and he built the city, and dwelt in it.
51These [are] the inheritances, which El’azar [God has helped] the priest, and Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] the son of Nun [Posterity], and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh [Place of Rest] before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
