Joshua 19:11-21

11 Toward the west the border ascends to Maralah and touches Dabbesheth and the river near Jokneam.

12 But from Sarid it turns directly east toward the border of Chisloth Tabor, on to Daberath, and then ascends toward Japhia.

13 From there it goes directly east to Gath Hepher, Eth Kazin, and Rimmon, where it turns to Neah.

14 There the border turns north to Hannathon and ends at the valley of Iphtah El.

15 This also includes Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were 12 cities with their villages.

16 These cities with their villages are the inheritance given to the families descended from Zebulun.

17 The fourth lot was drawn for the families descended from Issachar.

18 Their territory included Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem,

19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,

20 Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

21 Remeth, En Gannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez.
