/Chapter 16

Joshua

ESV

Chapter 16

1The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel. 2Then it goes from Bethel to Luz, and passes along to the territory of the Archites at Ataroth. 3Then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea. 4The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. 5The territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon, 6and the boundary goes from there to the sea. On the north was Michmethath; then on the east the boundary turns toward Taanath-shiloh and passes along beyond it to Janoah on the east. 7Then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, and ends at the Jordan. 8From Tappuah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Ephraim by their clans, 9together with the cities set apart for the people of Ephraim within the inheritance of the people of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 10However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day and have been made to do forced labor.
