*
And the house of Joseph ,
they also went up against Bethel Beyth -#
El #:
and the LORD was with them .
*
And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel Beyth -#
El #. (
Now the name of the city before was Luz . )
*
And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city ,
and they said unto him ,
Shew us ,
we pray thee ,
the entrance into the city ,
and we will shew thee mercy .
*
And when he shewed them the entrance into the city ,
they smote the city with the edge of the sword ;
but they let go the man and all his family .
*
And the man went into the land of the Hittites ,
and built a city ,
and called the name thereof Luz :
which is the name thereof unto this day .
*
Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean Beythand her towns ,
nor Taanach and her towns ,
nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns ,
nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns ,
nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns :
but the Canaanites would dwell in that land .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Israel was strong ,
that they put the Canaanites to tribute ,
and did not utterly drive them out .
*
Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer ;
but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them .
