40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan according

41 The territory of their land inheritance was Zorah,
Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh,
42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,
45 Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon,
46 Me-jarkon and Rakkon, with the territory across from Joppa.
47 They were unable to conquer the territory assigned to
the tribe of Dan. So the tribe of Dan went up and fought
against Leshem, took it, and put it to the edge of the sword,
and possessed it. They lived there, and called Leshem,
Dan, after the name of Dan their forefather.
48 This is the land inheritance of the tribe of Dan according
to their clans, including these towns with their villages.

49 So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance
by its borders; and the Israelites gave a land inheritance
to Joshua the son of Nun among them.
50 As the LORD had commanded, they gave him the town he had
asked for, Timnath-serah, in the hill country of Ephraim.
He rebuilt the town and lived there.
51 These are the land inheritances Eleazar the priest, Joshua
the son of Nun and the tribal leaders of the Israelites
assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD,
at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. So they finished
dividing up the land.
