Joshua 19:10-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Zebulun. 10 [a]The third lot fell to the Zebulunites by their clans. The boundary of their heritage was at Sarid. 11 Their boundary went up west and through Mareal, reaching Dabbesheth and the wadi that is near Jokneam. 12 From Sarid eastward it ran to the district of Chisloth-tabor, on to Daberath, and up to Japhia. 13 From there it continued eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin, extended to Rimmon, and turned to Neah. 14 Skirting north of Hannathon, the boundary ended at the valley of Iphtahel. 15 Thus, with Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem, there were twelve cities and their villages. 16 This was the heritage of the Zebulunites by their clans, these cities and their villages.

- 19:10–16 Zebulun’s territory was in the central section of the Jezreel Valley and of southern Galilee; it was bounded on the south by Manasseh, on the southeast by Issachar, on the northeast and north by Naphtali, and on the west by Asher. The site of the later city of Nazareth was within its borders. Bethlehem of Zebulun was, of course, distinct from the city of the same name in Judah. Twelve cities: apparently seven of the names are missing from v. 15, unless some of the places mentioned in vv. 12–14 are to be included in the number.

Allotment for Zebulun
10 The third lot came up for Zebulun(A) according to its clans:
The boundary of their inheritance went as far as Sarid.(B) 11 Going west it ran to Maralah, touched Dabbesheth, and extended to the ravine near Jokneam.(C) 12 It turned east from Sarid(D) toward the sunrise to the territory of Kisloth Tabor and went on to Daberath(E) and up to Japhia. 13 Then it continued eastward to Gath Hepher(F) and Eth Kazin; it came out at Rimmon(G) and turned toward Neah. 14 There the boundary went around on the north to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El.(H) 15 Included were Kattath, Nahalal,(I) Shimron,(J) Idalah and Bethlehem.(K) There were twelve towns and their villages.
16 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of Zebulun,(L) according to its clans.(M)
