019:041 The border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,
019:042 and Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah,
019:043 and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron,
019:044 and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
019:045 and Jehud, and Bene Berak, and Gath Rimmon,
019:046 and Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa.
019:047 The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them;
for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem,
and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword,
and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan,
after the name of Dan their father.
019:048 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan
according to their families, these cities with their villages.
019:049 So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance
by the borders of it; and the children of Israel gave an
inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:
019:050 according to the commandment of Yahweh they gave him the city
which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim;
