Now therefore, apportion this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

by the lot of their inheritance, as the Lord commanded through Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

and Keilah and Achzib and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages.

and Humtah and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages.

and Ain with its pasture lands and Juttah with its pasture lands and Beth-shemesh with its pasture lands; nine cities from these two tribes.
