48 This was the inheritance of the tribe of Danâs descendants by their clans, these cities with their settlements.
49 When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them.
50 By the LORDâs command, they gave him the city Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, which he requested. He rebuilt the city and lived in it.
51 These were the portions that the priest Eleazar, Joshua son of Nun, and the family heads distributed to the Israelite tribes by lot at Shiloh in the LORDâs presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
