Joshua 19:49-51

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

49When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

50as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the city of Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, as he requested. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.

51These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
