Chapter 16 |
| 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
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 Bethhoron 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 Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
|
| 6 | And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side;
and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, 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. |
