father.
{19:48} This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
{19:49} So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by its borders. The children of
Israel gave an inheritance to
Joshua the son of Nun in their midst.
{19:50} According to the commandment of Yahweh, they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in the
hill country of
Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived there.
{19:51} These are the inheritances, which
Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
