Joshua:16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards ,
to the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country of Bethel .
*
And [
the border ]
went from Bethel to Luz ,
and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth ,
*
and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites ,
as far as the border of the lower Beth-horon ,
and to Gezer ;
and ended at the sea .
*
And the children of Joseph ,
Manasseh and Ephraim ,
took their inheritance .
*
And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their families ;
the border of their inheritance eastwards was Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon ;
*
and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the north ;
and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh ,
and passed by it eastwards to Janohah ,
*
and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath ,
and touched upon Jericho ,
and went out to the Jordan .
*
From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent Kanah ,
and ended at the sea .
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families ,
*
with the cities that were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh ,
all the cities and their hamlets .
*
But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at Gezer ;
and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day ,
and serve under tribute .
