The Manasseh and their Inheritance - Joshua 16

Joshua 16:1 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 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and  passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 
    
Joshua 16:3  And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the  coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings  out thereof are at the sea. 

Joshua 16:4 So the children of Joseph,  Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.  

Joshua 16:5 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 Ataroth-addar, unto  Beth-horon the upper; 

Joshua 16:6 And the border went out  toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the  border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed  by it on the east to Janohah; 

Joshua 16:7 And it went down from  Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho,  and went out at Jordan. 

Joshua 16:8 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 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 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.  

Joshua
