Joshua 19:13-23

13 It continued eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin, ending at Rimmon. There the border turned and went toward Neah.

14 At Neah it turned again and went to the north to Hannathon and continued to the Valley of Iphtah El.

15 Inside this border were the cities of Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve towns and their villages.

16 So these are the towns and the villages that were given to the family groups of Zebulun.

17 The fourth part of the land was given to the tribe of Issachar. Each family group of Issachar received some of the land.

18 Their land included Jezreel, Kesulloth, Shunem,

19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,

20 Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

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

22 The border of their land touched the area called Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh and stopped at the Jordan River. There were sixteen towns and their villages.

23 These cities and towns were part of the land that was given to the family groups of Issachar.
