You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north.

You must divide the land up into seven shares. Judah must remain in its territory in the south. The people in Joseph’s family line must remain in their territory in the north.

They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall continue in his territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall continue in their territory on the north.

Then they are to divide it into seven portions. Judah is to remain in its territory in the south and Joseph’s family in their territory in the north.

And they shall divide it into seven portions; Judah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall stay in their territory on the north.

And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north.

And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.

Then they are to divide it into seven portions. Judah is to remain in its territory in the south and Joseph’s family in their territory in the north.

And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.

Divide it into seven regions. Judah will stay in its territory in the south, and the family of Joseph in its territory in the north.

They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.

The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan River near Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, through the wilderness and into the hill country of Bethel.From Bethel( that is, Luz) it ran over to Ataroth in the territory of the Arkites.Then it descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as Lower Beth horon, then to Gezer and over to the Mediterranean Sea.This was the homeland allocated to the families of Joseph’s sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.The following territory was given to the clans of the tribe of Ephraim. The boundary of their homeland began at Ataroth addar in the east. From there it ran to Upper Beth horon,then on to the Mediterranean Sea. From Micmethath on the north, the boundary curved eastward past Taanath shiloh to the east of Janoah.From Janoah it turned southward to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and ended at the Jordan River.From Tappuah the boundary extended westward, following the Kanah Ravine to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the homeland allocated to the clans of the tribe of Ephraim.In addition, some towns with their surrounding villages in the territory allocated to the half tribe of Manasseh were set aside for the tribe of Ephraim.They did not drive the Canaanites out of Gezer, however, so the people of Gezer live as slaves among the people of Ephraim to this day.

The allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah reached southward to the border of Edom, as far south as the wilderness of Zin.The southern boundary began at the south bay of the Dead Sea,ran south of Scorpion Pass into the wilderness of Zin, and then went south of Kadesh barnea to Hezron. Then it went up to Addar, where it turned toward Karka.From there it passed to Azmon until it finally reached the Brook of Egypt, which it followed to the Mediterranean Sea. This was their southern boundary.The eastern boundary extended along the Dead Sea to the mouth of the Jordan River. The northern boundary began at the bay where the Jordan River empties into the Dead Sea,went up from there to Beth hoglah, then proceeded north of Beth arabah to the Stone of Bohan.( Bohan was Reuben’s son.)From that point it went through the valley of Achor to Debir, turning north toward Gilgal, which is across from the slopes of Adummim on the south side of the valley. From there the boundary extended to the springs at En shemesh and on to En rogel.The boundary then passed through the valley of Ben Hinnom, along the southern slopes of the Jebusites, where the city of Jerusalem is located. Then it went west to the top of the mountain above the valley of Hinnom, and on up to the northern end of the valley of Rephaim.From there the boundary extended from the top of the mountain to the spring at the waters of Nephtoah, and from there to the towns on Mount Ephron. Then it turned toward Baalah( that is, Kiriath jearim).The boundary circled west of Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the town of Kesalon on the northern slope of Mount Jearim, and went down to Beth shemesh and on to Timnah.The boundary then proceeded to the slope of the hill north of Ekron, where it turned toward Shikkeron and Mount Baalah. It passed Jabneel and ended at the Mediterranean Sea.The western boundary was the shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea. These are the boundaries for the clans of the tribe of Judah.

The second allotment of land went to the clans of the tribe of Simeon. Their homeland was surrounded by Judah’s territory.Simeon’s homeland included Beersheba, Sheba, Moladah,Hazar shual, Balah, Ezem,Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,Ziklag, Beth marcaboth, Hazar susah,Beth lebaoth, and Sharuhen— thirteen towns with their surrounding villages.It also included Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan— four towns with their villages,including all the surrounding villages as far south as Baalath beer( also known as Ramah of the Negev). This was the homeland allocated to the clans of the tribe of Simeon.Their allocation of land came from part of what had been given to Judah because Judah’s territory was too large for them. So the tribe of Simeon received an allocation within the territory of Judah.
