Joshua 16

Common English Bible CEB

1 The land determined by lot for the people of Joseph went out from the Jordan near Jericho eastward to the waters of Jericho. It went up by the desert from Jericho to the Bethel highlands.

2 It goes from Bethel to Luz and passes on to the border of the Archites at Ataroth.

3 It goes down westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and as far as Gezer. It ends at the sea.

4 The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their legacy.

5 This was the territory for the clans of the people of Ephraim. The border of their legacy ran from Ataroth-adar on the east as far as Upper Beth-horon.

6 The border goes to the sea. Michmethath is on the north. The border turns east of Taanath-shiloh and passes along beyond it east of Janoah.

7 It goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, touches Jericho, and goes to the Jordan.

8 From Tappuah the border goes westward by the Kanah Valley. It ends at the sea. This is the legacy for the clans of the Ephraimite tribe.

9 It included cities set apart for the people of Ephraim within the legacy of the people of Manasseh, all the cities and their surrounding areas.

10 But they didn't remove the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So today the Canaanites, who were used for forced labor, still live within Ephraim.

1 The lot for the people of Joseph went from the Jordan near Jericho, east of the spring of Jericho, north through the desert mountains to Bethel.

2 It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) to the territory of the Arkites in Ataroth.

3 It then descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites to the region of Lower Beth Horon and on to Gezer, ending at the Sea.

4 This is the region from which the people of Joseph - Manasseh and Ephraim - got their inheritance.

5 Ephraim's territory by clans:

6 and then west to the Sea. From Micmethath on the north it turned eastward to Taanath Shiloh and passed along, still eastward, to Janoah.

7 The border then descended from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah; it touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

8 From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim by clans,

9 including the cities set aside for Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh - all those towns and their villages.

10 But they didn't get rid of the Canaanites who were living in Gezer. Canaanites are still living among the people of Ephraim, but they are made to do forced labor.
