Joshua 19:38-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “And Iron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen towns with their unwalled places. This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Naphtali by their families, these towns with their unwalled places. For the tribe of Dan by their families the seventh heritage came out; And the limit of their heritage was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh And Shaalabbin and Aijalon and Ithlah And Elon and Timnah and Ekron And Eltekeh and Gibbethon and Baalath And Jehud and Bene-berak and Gath-rimmon; And on the west was ... opposite Joppa. (But the limit of the children of Dan was not wide enough for them; so the children of Dan went up and made war on Leshem and took it, putting it to the sword without mercy, and they took it for their heritage and made a place for themselves there, giving it the name of Leshem-dan, after the name of their father, Dan.) This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Dan by their families, these towns with their unwalled places. So the distribution of the land and its limits was complete; and the children of Israel gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a heritage among them; By the orders of the Lord they gave him the town for which he made request, Timnath-serah in the hill-country of Ephraim: there, after building the town, he made his living-place. 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.”
