Joshua 16

English Standard Version ESV

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.

2 Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites.

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.

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

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,

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,

7 then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan.

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,

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.

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.

The Message Bible MSG

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.
