Genesis 49
CurseJacob joins Simeon with Levi in a rebuke over violent anger and says they will be divided and scattered in Israel.
Territory
Joshua allotment
Simeon's inheritance is described as lying in the middle of Judah's inheritance, so its land is embedded inside the southern territory rather than standing as a separate block beside it.
Joshua names towns such as Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem, Ziklag, Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susah, Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen, then adds four more towns and their villages.
The passage explains that Judah had more land than it needed, so Simeon received its inheritance from within Judah.
Where It Matters
Simeon was later largely absorbed into Judah, which fits Joshua placing its towns within Judah from the start.
Levitical Cities
Simeon's Levitical cities are counted with Judah's gift to the Levites rather than listed as a separate Simeonite set.
