Joshua 19:17-27

17 The fourth lot went out to Issachar, by his families; (The fourth lot went out to the sons of Issachar, by their families;)
18 and the heritage thereof was Jezreel (and its inheritance was Jezreel), and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
19 and Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,
20 and Rabbith, and Kishion, (and) Abez,
21 and Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez.
22 And the term thereof cometh unto Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings thereof were (the) Jordan; sixteen cities, and the towns of those. (And its border cometh unto Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and its end, or its limit, was the Jordan River; sixteen cities, and their towns.)
23 This is the possession of the sons of Issachar, by their families, the cities and the towns of those.
24 And the fifth lot felled to the lineage of the sons of Asher, by their families;
25 and the term of them was Helkath (and its border was made unto Helkath), and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
26 and Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and it cometh till to Carmel of the sea, and Shihor, and Libnath (and it goeth unto Carmel on the west, and Shihorlibnath);
27 and it turneth again, against the east, to Bethdagon; and it passeth unto Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel, against the north, in[to] Bethemek, and Neiel; and it goeth out to the left side to Cabul (and it goeth out on the north side to Cabul),
