Joshua - Chapter 16
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 Bethel,
2 And
goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to
Ataroth,
3 And
goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the
nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
4 So the
children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 And the
border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus:
even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar, unto
Beth-horon the upper;
6 And the
border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border
went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to
Janohah;
7 And it
went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and
went out at Jordan.
8 The
border went out from Tappuah 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 Ephraim by their families.
9 And the
separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance
of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 And
they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell
among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
