1And the second lot came out for the children of Symeon; and their inheritance was in the midst of the lots of the children of Juda.Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ δεύτερος κλῆρος τῶν υἱῶν Συμεών· καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν ἀναμέσον κλήρων υἱῶν Ἰούδα.

8round about their cities as far as Balec as men go to Bameth southward: this is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Symeon according to their families.κύκλῳ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν ἕως Βαλὲκ πορευομένων Βαμὲθ κατὰ Λίβα· αὕτη ἡ κληρονομία φυλῆς υἱῶν Συμεὼν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν.

9The inheritance of the tribe of the children of Symeon was a part of the lot of Juda, for the portion of the children of Juda was greater than theirs; and the children of Symeon inherited in the midst of their lot.Ἀπὸ τοῦ κλήρου τοῦ Ἰούδα ἡ κληρονομία φυλῆς υἱῶν Συμεὼν, ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἡ μερὶς υἱῶν Ἰούδα μείζων τῆς αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Συμεὼν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ κλήρου αὐτῶν.

10And the third lot came out to Zabulon according to their families: the bounds of their inheritance shall be—Esedekgola shall be their border,Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ κλῆρος ὁ τρίτος τῷ Ζαβουλὼν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν· ἔσται τὰ ὅρια τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτῶν, Ἐσεδεκγωλὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν,

40And the seventh lot came out to Dan.Καὶ τῷ Δὰν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ κλῆρος ὁ ἕβδομος·

47This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan, according to their families, these are their cities and their villages: and the children of Dan did not drive out the Amorite who afflicted them in the mountain; and the Amorite would not suffer them to come down into the valley, but they forcibly took from them the border of their portion.Αὕτη ἡ κληρονομία φυλῆς υἱῶν Δὰν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν, αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν·

47aκαὶ οὐκ ἐξέθλιψαν οἱ υἱοὶ Δὰν τὸν Ἀμοῤῥαῖον τὸν θλίβοντα αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὄρει· καὶ οὐκ εἴων αὐτοὺς οἱ Ἀμοῥῥαῖοι καταβῆναι εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα, καὶ ἔθλιψαν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν τὸ ὅριον τῆς μερίδος αὐτῶν.

48And the sons of Dan went and fought against Lachis, and took it, and struck it with the ‡ edge of the sword; and they lived in it, and called the name of it Lasendan: and the Amorite continued to dwell in Edom and in Salamin: and the hand of Ephraim prevailed against them, and they became tribute to them.Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Δὰν καὶ ἐπολέμησαν τὴν Λαχὶς, καὶ κατελάβοντο αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας· καὶ κατῴκησαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Λασενδάν·

48aκαὶ ὁ Ἀμοῤῥαῖος ὑπέμεινε τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐν Ἐλὼμ καὶ ἐν Σαλαμίν· καὶ ἐβαρύνθη ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτοῖς εἰς φόρον.

49And they proceeded to take possession of the land according to their borders, and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Naue among them,Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐμβατεύσαι τὴν γῆν κατὰ τὸ ὅριον αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔδωκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ κλῆρον τῷ Ἰησοῖ τῷ υἱῷ Ναυῆ ἐν αὐτοῖς

50by the command of God, and they gave him the city which he asked for, Thamnasarach, which is in the mount of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived in it.διὰ προστάγματος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ τὴν πόλιν, ἣν ᾐτήσατο, Θαμνασαρὰχ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραίμ· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν πόλιν, καὶ κατῴκει ἐν αὐτῇ.

51These are the divisions which Eleazar the priest divided by lot, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the heads of families among the tribes of Israel, according to the lots, in Selo before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and they § went to take possession of the land.Αὗται αἱ διαιρέσεις ἃς κατεκληρονόμησεν Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυῆ, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ κλήρους ἐν Σηλὼ ἔναντι Κυρίου, παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐμβατεῦσαι τὴν γῆν.
