Joshua 19:24-31

Asher's Inheritance

24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of Asher's descendants by their clans.

25 Their boundary included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,

26 Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal and reached westward to Carmel and Shihor-libnath.

27 It turned eastward to Beth-dagon, passed Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah-el, north toward Beth-emek and Neiel, and went north to Cabul,

28 Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Great Sidon.

29 The boundary then turned to Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre; it turned back to Hosah and ended at the sea, including Mahalab, Achzib,^[a]

30 Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob-22 cities, with their villages.

31 This was the inheritance of the tribe of Asher's descendants by their clans, these cities with their villages.
