Simeon’s Inheritance

¹The second lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Simeon: Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah²and included Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah,³Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem,

Summary

In Joshua 19:2, the tribe of Simeon receives their inheritance within the territory of Judah. This allocation fulfills the promise made to Jacob in Genesis 49:5-7, where Simeon's descendants were scattered among the other tribes. Despite Simeon's past transgressions, such as the massacre at Shechem (Genesis 34), God's faithfulness is evident in providing them with a portion of land. This division of land among the tribes reflects God's sovereignty and fulfillment of His covenant promises to the Israelites.
