Chapter 16 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho unto
the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from
Jericho throughout Mount Bethel, and goeth out from Bethel to Luz,
and passeth along unto the borders of Archai, to Adaroth, and goeth down
westward to the coast of Jaflatai, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether,
and to Gezer, and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
So the children of Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim took their inheritance.
And the border of the children of Ephraim, according to their families, was thus.
Even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Adaroth Adar,
unto Beth-horon the upper.
And the border went out toward the sea to Mikmathah on the north side, and the
border went about eastward unto Taanath Shiloh, and passed by it on the east to
Jenoah.
And it went down from Jenoah to Adaroth, and to Naaroth, and came to Jericho,
and went out of Jordan.
The border went out from Tapua westward unto the river Cana, and the goings out
thereof were at the sea.
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of
the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwell
among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
