Joshua 19:24-31

The Remaining Tribal Allotments and Joshua’s Inheritance

The remaining six tribal allotments are assigned to Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Dan, and after the land is distributed, Joshua receives his own inheritance at Timnath Serah.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

24The fifth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Asher:

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

26Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath,

27then turned eastward toward Beth-dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah-el, and went north to Beth-emek and Neiel, passing Cabul on the left.

28It went on to Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.

29The border then turned back toward Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre, turned toward Hosah, and came out at the Sea in the region of Achzib,

30Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. There were twenty-two cities, along with their villages.

31This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Asher, including these cities and their villages.
