19:32 The allocation to Naftali’s descendants

32 The sixth draw went to Naftali’s descendants according to their clans. 33 Their border started in Helef (where there was an oak tree at Zaanannim) then Adami-Nekeb and Yabneel and on to Lakkum before exiting at the Yordan. 34 Then it turned west to Aznot-Tabor and from there to Hukkok, meeting the border with Zebulun on the south, the border with Asher on the west, and the border with Yehudah on the east. 35 The fortified cities were Tsiddim, Tser, Hammat, Rakkat, Kinneret, 36 Adamah, Ramah, Hatsor, 37 Kedesh, Edrei, En-Hatsor, 38 Yiron, Migdal-El, Horem, Beyt-Anat, and Beyt-Shemesh—a total of nineteen cities as well as their surrounding villages. 39 That was Naftali’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).
