«And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: / And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam; / And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, / And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah; / And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel: / And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.»
