Judah is first, having the first lot, in the South ( Jos 15:1); and next to him is Simeon, because his inheritance was "within the inheritance of the children of Judah" ( Jos 19:1). Benjamin, the third, had his portion between "Judah and the children of Joseph" ( Jos 18:11). Dan was the fourth, and his lot was westward of Benjamin ( Jos 19:40, Jos 19:41).
