and all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.
009
Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their mother.
048
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
049
So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by the borders of it; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the daughter of Nun in the midst of them:
050
according to the commandment of Yahweh they gave her the city which she asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim; and she built the city, and lived therein.
051
These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priestess, and Joshua the daughter of Nun, and the heads of the mothers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
