(Joshua)
Chapter 16
Border towns of the children of Ephraim.

And the lot fell to the children of Joseph from Jordan toward Jericho unto the waters of
Jericho, from the going upward, and the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho through mount Bethel;

And come out of Bethel unto Lus, and pass through the border of Archi-artharoth; 3. And he went down toward the west to the border of Japhleti, unto the border of Bethhoron the lower, and unto Gaser: and the end thereof was by the sea.

This is the inheritance of the sons of Joseph, of Manasseh, and of Ephraim.

The border of the children of Ephraim among their families, their inheritance from the going upward, was Atharoth-adar unto upper Beth-horon;

And go out toward the evening at Michmethath, which is toward the north: there she turneth about toward the going up of the city of Thaenath-silo, and goeth through there from the going up toward Janoha;

And come down from Janoha unto Atharoth and Naaratha, and touch Jericho, and go out by Jordan.

From Tapuah it goeth toward the west to Nahalkanah; and the end thereof is by the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim among their families.

And all the border cities, and the villages thereof, of the children of Ephraim, were gathered together for the inheritance of the children of Manasseh.

And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gaser. So the Canaanites abode under Ephraim unto this day, and were made interestable.
(Joshua)
Chapter 17
Of the inheritance of the other half of the tribe of Manasseh.

And the lot fell upon the tribe of Manasseh, because he was Joseph’s first son: and the lot fell upon Machir the first son of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war: therefore Gilead and Bashan were given unto him.

And to the rest of the sons of Manasseh, and to their families, even to the sons of Abiezer, and to the sons of Helek, and to the sons of Azriel, and to the sons of Shechem, and to the sons of Hepher, and to the sons of Shemida. These are the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, men of their families.

But Zelaphehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and their names are these: Mahela, Noa, Hagla, Milcah, Thirzah.

And they came before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, and said: The LORD commanded Moses that he should give us an inheritance among our brethren. And they gave them an inheritance among their father’s brethren, according to the commandment of the LORD.

And there fell upon Manasseh ten cords out of the land of Gilead, and out of Bashan, which is beyond Jordan.

For the daughters of Manasseh took inheritance among his sons, and the land of Gilead was given unto the other sons of Manasseh.

And the border of Manasseh was from Asher unto Michmethath, which is before Shechem, and is on the right hand of Enthapuah.

For the land of Tapuah was Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh is unto the children of Ephraim.

And afterward it shall come down to Nahal-chanah toward the south, unto the cities of the brook, which are Ephraim’s, among the cities of Manasseh: but from the north the border of Manasseh shall be by the brook, and shall end at the sea,

To Ephraim southward, and to Manasseh northward; and the sea shall be the border thereof: and it shall come upon Asher northward, and upon Issachar eastward.

And Manasseh had among Issachar and Asher Bethshean and her daughters, and Jeblaam and her daughters, and those of Dor and her daughters, and those of En-dor and her daughters, and those of Taanach and her daughters, and those of Megiddo, and her daughters and the third part of Napheth.

And the children of Manasseh could not take those cities: but the Canaanites began to dwell
in the same land.

And when the children of Israel became mighty, they made the Canaanites to pay interest, and did not drive them out.

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying: Why hast thou given me but one lot, and one cord of inheritance? For I am a great people, as the LORD hath blessed me.

And Joshua said unto them: Because thou art a great people, go up into the forest, and cut down there the land of the Perizzites and the giants: for the mountains of Ephraim are too narrow for thee.

And the children of Joseph said, We shall not get the mountains: for there are chariots of iron among all the Canaanites that dwell in the valley of the land, with whom is Bethshean, and her daughters, and Jezreel in the valley.

And Joshua said unto the house of Joseph, and to Ephraim, and to Manasseh, Thou art a great people; and because thou art so great, thou needest not have a lot, 18. But the mountain shall be thine, where the forest is: cut it down, and it shall be the end of thy lot, when thou hast driven out the Canaanites, which have chariots of iron, and are mighty.
(Joshua)
Chapter 18
Border towns of the tribe of Benjamin.

And all the congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together unto Shiloh, and set up there the tabernacle of the congregation. And the land was subdued unto them.

And there were yet seven tribes of the children of Israel, to whom they had not distributed their inheritance.

And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye so foolish, that ye go not to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

Get you three men out of every tribe, and I will send them, and they shall arise, and go through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come unto me.

Divide the land into seven parts. Judah shall abide in his border from the south: and the house of Joseph shall abide in his border from the north.

And ye shall describe the land of the seven parts, and bring them hither unto me, and I will cast lots for you before the LORD our God.

For the Levites have no portion among you; but the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have taken their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.

And the men arose, and went. And Joshua commanded them, as they went to describe the land, saying, Go, walk through the land, and describe it, and come again unto me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.

So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by letter after the cities into seven parts: and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

And Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh before the LORD, and divided the land there among the children of Israel, every man his portion.

And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin fell according to their families, and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

And the border of it was in the north corner from Jordan, and went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and came into the mountains on the west side, and went out by the wilderness of Bethaven;

And go from thence unto Lus by the side of Lus toward the south, which is Bethel, and come down to Atharoth-adar by the mountain that lieth from the south by the lower Bethhoron.

And afterward it inclined itself, and turned the corner of the evening southward, from the mountain that lieth before Bethhoron southward, and ended at Kiriathbaal, which is Kiriathjearim, the city of the children of Judah; which is the corner westward.

And the south corner is from Kiriathjearim, and goeth out toward the evening, and cometh forth unto the fountain of Nephthoah;

And go down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom,
which is in the valley of Raphaim northward: and go down through the valley of Hinnom by the side of the Jebusites southward, and come down to the well of Rogel; 17. And he goeth forth from the north, and cometh out to En-shemesh, and cometh out to the heaps that are toward Adumim, and cometh down to the stone of Bohen the son of Reuben; 18. And go ye aside to the midnight region, and come down to the midnight region; 19. And go to the side of Bethhagla, which is toward the north: and the end thereof shall be at the tongue of the salt sea toward the north, at the place of Jordan toward the south. This is the south border.

But the corner toward the east shall be the end of Jordan. This is the inheritance of the children of
