tribes

Say vnto them, Thus saith the LORD God, Behold, I will take the sticke of Ioseph which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellowes, and will put them with him, euen with the sticke of Iudah, and make them one sticke, and they shall be one in mine hand.

In the land shall be his possession in Israel, and my princes shall no more oppresse my people, and the rest of the land shall they giue to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

¶ Thus sayth the LORD God, This shall be the border, whereby yee shall inherite the land, according to the twelue tribes of Israel: Ioseph shall haue two portions.

So shall yee diuide this land vnto you according to the Tribes of Israel.

¶ And it shall come to passe, that yee shall diuide it by lot for an inheritance vnto you, and to the strangers that soiourne among you, which shall beget children among you, and they shall be vnto you as borne in the countrey among the children of Israel; they shall haue inheritance with you among the Tribes of Israel.

¶ Now these are the names of the Tribes, from the North end to the coast of the way of Hathlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus Northward, to y e coast of Hamath (for these are his sides East & West) a portion for Dan.

And they that serue the citie, shall serue it out of all the tribes of Israel.

As for the rest of the tribes, from the East side vnto the West side, Beniamin shall haue a portion:

This is the land which ye shal diuide by lot vnto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the LORD God.

And the gates of the citie shall bee after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates Northward, one gate of Reuben, one gate of Iudah, one gate of Leui.
