19:24 The allocation to Asher’s descendants

24 The fifth draw went to Asher’s descendants according to their clans. 25 Their land included the cities of Helkat, Hali, Beten, Akshaf, 26 Allammelek, Amad, and Mishal. Their western border started at Mount Karmel and Shihorlibnat 27 and turned back to the east to Beyt-Dagon and the border with Zebulun and the Yiftah-El valley to the north. Then it went to Beyt-Emek and Neiel and north to Kabul, 28 Abdon, Rehob, Hammon and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon. 29 The border then turned back to Ramah and to the fortified city of Tsor (commonly known as Tyre) and turns west to Hosah coming out at the Mediterranean near Akzib. 30 It also included Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob—a total of twenty-two cities as well as their surrounding villages. 31 That was Asher’s descendants’ inheritance according to their clans, including those cities as well as their surrounding villages.

Tribal Allotments of the Promised Land

After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
