Josué 16:1 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 16:1

And the lot of the children of Joseph fell
Or, "went out" {a}; of the pot or urn, this being the next lot that was drawn to that of Judah, the government being Judah's, and the birthright Joseph's, ( 1 Chronicles 5:2 ) ; and by his children are here meant the tribe of Ephraim, and the tribe of Manasseh: or the line and border according to the lot went forth

from Jordan by Jericho unto the water of Jericho on the east;
by which it appears, that this was the southern border of the lot; for the tribe of Benjamin, in which Jericho was, lay between Judah and Ephraim, and the border began at Jordan, where it flowed near Jericho, and proceeded to a water which belonged to that city, and is generally thought to be the waters Elisha healed, ( 2 Kings 2:19-22 ) ;

to the wilderness that goeth up throughout Mount Bethel;
this was the wilderness of Bethaven, ( Joshua 18:12 ) ; Jarchi interprets it of the border that went up through Mount Bethel; which is true, and so might the wilderness also, for which the Targum is express; mention is made of a mountain on the east of Bethel, ( Genesis 12:8 ) .

1 Toc贸 en suerte a los hijos de Jos茅 desde el Jord谩n frente a Jeric贸 (las aguas de Jeric贸) al oriente, hacia el desierto, subiendo desde Jeric贸 por la regi贸n monta帽osa a Betel.
2 Segu铆a desde Betel a Luz, y continuaba hasta el l铆mite de los arquitas en Atarot.
3 Y descend铆a hacia el occidente al territorio de los jafletitas, hasta el territorio de Bet-hor贸n de abajo, y hasta Gezer, y terminaba en el mar.
4 Recibieron, pues, su heredad los hijos de Jos茅, Manas茅s y Efra铆n.
5 Y este fue el territorio de los hijos de Efra铆n conforme a sus familias: el l铆mite de su heredad hacia el oriente era Atarot-adar, hasta Bet-hor贸n de arriba.
