Surrounding context
Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the middle of their inheritance.
The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. The border of their inheritance was to Sarid.
Their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth. It reached to the brook that is before Jokneam.
It turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth Tabor. It went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.
From there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Ethkazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah.
The border turned around it on the north to Hannathon; and it ended at the valley of Iphtah El;
Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.
