Joshua 19:10-16 Commentary: Zebulun's Inheritance and Fulfilled Prophecy

¹⁰The third lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Zebulun:

¹¹The border of their inheritance stretched as far as Sarid. It 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.

¹⁰The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. The border of their inheritance was to Sarid.

¹¹Their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth. It reached to the brook that is before Jokneam.

¹²It turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth Tabor. It went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.

¹³From there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Ethkazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah.

¹⁴The border turned around it on the north to Hannathon; and it ended at the valley of Iphtah El;

¹⁵Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

¹⁶This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

¹⁰And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:

¹¹And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;

¹²And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth–tabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,

¹³And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittah–hepher, to Ittah–kazin, and goeth out to Remmon–methoar to Neah;

¹⁴And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah–el:

¹⁵And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Beth–lehem: twelve cities with their villages.

¹⁶This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

¹⁰And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. And the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid;

¹¹and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam;

¹²and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor; and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia;

¹³and from thence it passed along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretcheth unto Neah;

¹⁴and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon; and the goings out thereof were at the valley of Iphtah-el;

¹⁵and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

¹⁶This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

¹⁰And the third lot goeth up for the sons of Zebulun, for their families; and the border of their inheritance is unto Sarid,

¹¹and their border hath gone up towards the sea, and Maralah, and come against Dabbasheth, and come unto the brook which is on the front of Jokneam,

¹²and turned back from Sarid eastward, at the sun-rising, by the border of Chisloth-Tabor, and gone out unto Daberath, and gone up to Japhia,

¹³and thence it hath passed over eastward, to the east, to Gittah-Hepher, to Ittah-Kazin, and gone out to Rimmon-Methoar to Neah;

¹⁴and the border hath gone round about it, from the north to Hannathon; and its outgoings have been in the valley of Jiphthah-El,

¹⁵and Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Beth-Lehem; twelve cities and their villages.

¹⁶This is the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun, for their families, these cities and their villages.

¹⁰And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. And the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid;

¹¹and their border went up westwards, and [to] Marealah, and reached to Dabbesheth, and reached to the torrent that is before Jokneam;

¹²and turned from Sarid eastward, toward the sun-rising, to the border of Chisloth-Tabor, and went out to Dabrath, and went up to Japhia;

¹³and from thence it passed eastward toward the sun-rising to Gath-Hepher, to Eth-kazin, and went out to Rimmon which reaches to Neah;

¹⁴and the border turned round it northwards to Hannathon: and ended in the valley of Jiphthah-el; ...

¹⁵and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Jidalah, and Beth-lehem: twelve cities and their hamlets.

¹⁶This was the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities and their hamlets.

¹⁰And the third lot fell to the children of Zabulon by their kindreds: and the border of their possession was unto Sarid.

¹¹And It went up from the sea and from Merala, and came to Debbaseth: as far as the torrent, which is over against Jeconam.

¹²And it returneth from Sarid eastward to the borders of Ceseleththabor: and it goeth out to Dabereth and ascendeth towards Japhie.

¹³And it passeth along from thence to the east side of Gethhepher and Thacasin: and goeth out to Remmon, Amthar and Noa.

¹⁴And it turneth about to the north of Hanathon: and the outgoings thereof are the valley of Jephtahel,

¹⁵And Cateth and Naalol and Semeron and Jedala and Bethlehem: twelve cities and their villages.

¹⁶This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Zabulon by their kindreds, the cities and their villages.
