Joshua 19:10-16

Zebulun

10 The lot turned up third for the clans of Zebulun. The border of their legacy ran as far as Sarid.

11 Their border went up westward to Maralah, touched Dabbesheth, and touched the ravine that is opposite Jokneam.

12 It reversed from Sarid eastward toward the east to the border of Chisloth-tabor. It went to Daberath and then up to Japhia.

13 From there it passed on the east side, running eastward to Gath-hepher and Eth-kazin. Going to Rimmon, it bent toward Neah.

14 The border turned north of Hannathon and ended at the Iphtah-el Valley.

15 They also owned Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; in total: twelve cities and their surrounding areas.

16 These cities and their surrounding areas are the legacy of Zebulun's clans.
