Out of the portion of the children of Judah {was} the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

Ye shall therefore describe the land {into} seven parts, and bring {the description} hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon {shall have} a {portion}.

Cursed {be} their anger, for {it was} fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.

Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

Of the tribe of Simeon {were} sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi {were} sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar {were} sealed twelve thousand.
