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

27 Then it turned east and went to Beth Dagon, touching Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah El. Then it went north of Beth Emek and Neiel and passed north to Cabul.

28 From there it went to Abdon, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah and continued to Greater Sidon.
