'Nine' in the Bible

Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."

Their inheritance [was] by lot, just as Yahweh commanded through the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

Keilah, Aczib, and Mareshah; nine cities and their villages.

Humtah, Kiriath Arba (that [is], Hebron), and Zior; nine cities and their villages.

Ain and its pasturelands, Juttah and its pasturelands, and Beth Shemesh and its pasturelands; nine cities from these two tribes.
