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

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

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

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

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

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

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