undefined These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, clan by clan.

undefined Allotment for JoshuaWhen they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

undefined as the Lord had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for—Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there.

undefined These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. And so they finished dividing the land.
