Joshua 16
The Territory Allotted
to Ephraim and Manasseh |
1 |
And the lot of the children of Joseph
fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east,
to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount
Beth-el,
|
2 |
and goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and
passeth along unto the borders of Archi to At'aroth,
|
3 |
and goeth down westward to the coast of
Japh'leti, unto the coast of Beth-ho'ron the nether, and to Gezer:
and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
|
4 |
So the children of Joseph, Manas'seh
and E'phra-im, took their inheritance.
|
5 |
And the border of the children of
E'phra-im according to their families was thus: even the
border of their inheritance on the east side was At'aroth-ad'dar,
unto Beth-ho'ron the upper;
|
6 |
and the border went out toward the sea to
Mich'methah on the north side; and the border went about eastward
unto Ta'anath-shi'loh, and passed by it on the east to
Jano'hah;
|
7 |
and it went down from Jano'hah to
At'aroth, and to Na'arath, and came to Jericho, and went out at
Jordan.
|
8 |
The border went out from Tap'pu-ah
westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at
the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children
of E'phra-im by their families.
|
9 |
And the separate cities for the children
of E'phra-im were among the inheritance of the children of
Manas'seh, all the cities with their villages.
|
10 |
And they drave not out the Canaanites
that dwelt in Gezer: Judg. 1.29 but the Canaanites dwell among the E'phra-imites unto this
day, and serve under tribute.
