Joshua 19:30-40

30 Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. There were twenty-two towns and their villages.

31 These cities and their villages were part of the land that was given to the family groups of Asher.

32 The sixth part of the land was given to the tribe of Naphtali. Each family group of Naphtali received some of the land.

33 The border of their land started at the large tree in Zaanannim, which is near Heleph. Then it went through Adami Nekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and ended at the Jordan River.

34 Then it went to the west through Aznoth Tabor and stopped at Hukkok. It went to the area of Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and Judah, at the Jordan River, on the east.

35 The strong, walled cities inside these borders were called Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth,

36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

37 Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor,

38 Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh. There were nineteen towns and all their villages.

39 The towns and the villages around them were in the land that was given to the family groups of Naphtali.

40 The seventh part of the land was given to the tribe of Dan. Each family group of Dan received some of the land.
