These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel gave out at Shiloh, by the decision of the Lord, at the door of the Tent of meeting. So the distribution of the land was complete.

From Sarid it turned eastward to the territory of Kisloth Tabor, extended to Daberath, and went up to Japhia. From there it crossed eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin and extended to Rimmon, turning toward Neah. It then turned on the north to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El.

(The Danites failed to conquer their territory, so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it Dan after their ancestor.) This was the land assigned to the tribe of Dan by its clans, including these cities and their towns. Joshua Receives Land When they finished dividing the land into its regions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun some land. As the LORD had instructed, they gave him the city he requested– Timnath Serah in the Ephraimite hill country. He built up the city and lived in it. These are the land assignments which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders made by drawing lots in Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.”
Ain, Rimmon, and Ether and Ashan; four towns with their unwalled places;
And all the unwalled places round about these towns as far as Baalath-beer-ramah to the south. This is the heritage of the tribe of Simeon by their families.
The heritage of Simeon was taken out of Judah's stretch of land, for Judah's part was more than they had need of, so the heritage of the children of Simeon was inside their heritage.
