CHAPTER 16
Joshua 16:1
1 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,
Joshua 16:2
2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of
Archi to Ataroth,
Joshua 16:3
3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of
Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the
sea.
Joshua 16:4
4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Joshua 16:5
5 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
Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper; Joshua 16:6
6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side;
and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on
the east to Janohah;
Joshua 16:7
7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to
Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
Joshua 16:8
8 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the
goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Ephraim by their families. Joshua 16:9
9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the
inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their
villages. Joshua 16:10
10 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.
CHAPTER 17
Joshua 17:1
1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn
of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of
Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead  and Bashan.
Joshua 17:2
2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their
families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and
for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the
children  of Hepher,  and for the children  of Shemida:  these were the
male children  of Manasseh  the son  of Joseph  by their families. Joshua
17:3
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir,
the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of
his daughters,  Mahlah,  and Noah,  Hoglah,  Milcah,  and Tirzah. Joshua
17:4
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son
of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded  Moses  to give 
us an inheritance  among  our brethren.  Therefore according to the
commandment of the LORD  he gave  them an inheritance  among  the brethren 
of their father.
Joshua 17:5
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and
Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan; Joshua 17:6
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and
the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. Joshua 17:7
7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before
Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants
of Entappuah.
Joshua 17:8
8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of
Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; Joshua 17:9
9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river:
these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of
Manasseh  also was on the north side  of the river,  and the outgoings  of
it were at the sea:
Joshua 17:10
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea
is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar
on the east.
Joshua 17:11
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and
Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the
inhabitants of Endor and her towns,  and the inhabitants  of Taanach  and
her towns,  and the inhabitants  of Megiddo  and her towns,  even three
countries.
Joshua 17:12
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of
those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Joshua 17:13
13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that
they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
Joshua 17:14
14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou
given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great
people, forasmuch as  the LORD  hath blessed  me hitherto? Joshua 17:15
15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to
the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the
Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim  be too narrow  for thee.
Joshua 17:16
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all
the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron,
both they who are of Bethshean and her towns,  and they who are of the
valley  of Jezreel.
Joshua 17:17
17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to
Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt
not have one lot  only:
Joshua 17:18
18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it
down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the
Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
CHAPTER 18
Joshua 18:1
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together
at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the
land was subdued before them.
Joshua 18:2
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had
not yet received their inheritance. Joshua 18:3
3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go
to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
Joshua 18:4
4 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them,
and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to
the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me. Joshua 18:5
5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their
coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on
the north.
Joshua 18:6
6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the
description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD
our God.
Joshua 18:7
7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is
their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh,
have received their inheritance  beyond  Jordan  on the east,  which Moses 
the servant  of the LORD  gave  them.
Joshua 18:8
8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to
describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe  it,
and come again  to me, that I may here cast  lots  for you before  the LORD
in Shiloh.
Joshua 18:9
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities
into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
Joshua 18:10
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there
Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their
divisions. Joshua 18:11
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according
to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the
children of Judah and the children of Joseph. Joshua 18:12
12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went
up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the
mountains westward; and the goings out  thereof were at the wilderness  of
Bethaven.
Joshua 18:13
13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz,
which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near
the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether  Bethhoron. Joshua
18:14
14 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea
southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the
goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim,  a city  of
the children  of Judah:  this was the west  quarter. Joshua 18:15
15 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border
went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
Joshua 18:16
16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before
the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants
on the north, and descended  to the valley  of Hinnom,  to the side  of
Jebusi  on the south,  and descended  to Enrogel, Joshua 18:17
17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went
forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and
descended to the stone of Bohan the son  of Reuben, Joshua 18:18
18 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went
down unto Arabah:
Joshua 18:19
19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the
outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south
end  of Jordan:  this was the south  coast. Joshua 18:20
20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the
inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about,
according to their families.
Joshua 18:21
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to
their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
Joshua 18:22
22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, Joshua 18:23
23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, Joshua 18:24
24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
Joshua 18:25
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Joshua 18:26
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, Joshua 18:27
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, Joshua 18:28
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath;
fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the
children of Benjamin  according to their families.
