Joshua 19:10-16

Zebulun’s Inheritance

10 The third lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Zebulun: The border of their inheritance stretched as far as Sarid.

11 It went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam.

12 From Sarid it turned eastward along the border of Chisloth-tabor and went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.

13 From there it crossed eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon and curved around toward Neah.

14 Then the border circled around the north side of Neah to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el.

15 It also included Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve cities, along with their villages.

16 This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Zebulun, including these cities and their villages.
