Joshua 16

Joshua 16

1And the lot of the children of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] fell from Yarden [Descender] by Yericho [Its Moon] , unto the water of Yericho [Its Moon] on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Yericho [Its Moon] throughout mount Beit-El [House of God] ,

2And goes out from Beit-El [House of God] to Luz [Almond Tree] , and passes along unto the borders of Arki [Lengthy] to ‘Atarot [Crowns] ,

3And goes down westward to the coast of Yafleti [Let Him Escape] , unto the coast of Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness] the lower, and to Gezer [Portion] : and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

4So the children of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] , M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] and Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] , took their inheritance.

5And the border of the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] according to their families was [thus] : even the border of their inheritance on the east side was ‘Atrot-Adar [Crowns of Glory] , unto Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness] the upper;

6And the border went out toward the sea to Mikhm’tat [Hiding Place] on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Ta’anat-Shiloh [Approach to Shiloh] , and passed by it on the east to Yanochah [He Rests] ;

7And it went down from Yanochah [He Rests] to ‘Atarot [Crowns] , and to Na’arah [Maiden] , and came to Yericho [Its Moon] , and went out at Yarden [Descender] .

8The border went out from Tapuach [The Apple City] westward unto the river Kanah [Reed] ; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] by their families.

9And the separate cities for the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] [were] among the inheritance of the children of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] , all the cities with their villages.

10And they drove not out the Kena’ani [Merchant] that dwelt in Gezer [Portion] : but the Kena’ani [Merchant] dwell among the Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] unto this day, and serve under tribute.
