16:1 The
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.
16:2 Then
going
from
Bethel
to
Luz,
it
passes
along
to
Ataroth,
the
territory
of
the
Archites.
16:3 Then
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.
16:4 The
people
of
Joseph,
Manasseh
and
Ephraim,
received
their
inheritance.
16:5 The
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,
16:6 and
the
boundary
goes
from
there
to
the
sea.
On
the
north
is
Michmethath.
Then
on
the
east
the
boundary
turns
around
toward
Taanath-shiloh
and
passes
along
beyond
it
on
the
east
to
Janoah,
16:7 then
it
goes
down
from
Janoah
to
Ataroth
and
to
Naarah,
and
touches
Jericho,
ending
at
the
Jordan.
16:8 From
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,
16:9 together
with
the
towns
that
were
set
apart
for
the
people
of
Ephraim
within
the
inheritance
of
the
Manassites,
all
those
towns
with
their
villages.
16:10 However,
they
did
not
drive
out
the
Canaanites
who
lived
in
Gezer,
so
the
Canaanites
have
lived
in
the
midst
of
Ephraim
to
this
day
but
have
been
made
to
do
forced
labor.
