06:015:062 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities
with their villages.
06:015:063 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell
with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
06:016:001 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,
06:016:002 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the
borders of Archi to Ataroth,
06:016:003 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.
06:016:004 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their
inheritance.
06:016:005 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;
06:016:006 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;
06:016:007 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath,
and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
06:016:008 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.
06:016:009 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were
among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with
their villages.
06:016:010 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.
06:017:001 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.
06:017:002 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.
06:017:003 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.
06:017:004 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.
