Conquest of Canaan

Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim,

Goshen, Holon, and Giloh—eleven cities, along with their villages.

Arab, Dumah, Eshan,

Janim, Beth-tappuah, Aphekah,

Humtah, Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), and Zior—nine cities, along with their villages.

Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah,

Jezreel, Jokdeam, Zanoah,

Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah—ten cities, along with their villages.

Halhul, Beth-zur, Gedor,

Maarath, Beth-anoth, and Eltekon—six cities, along with their villages.

Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah—two cities, along with their villages.

These were in the wilderness:

Beth-arabah, Middin, Secacah, Nibshan, the City of Salt, and En-gedi—six cities, along with their villages.

But the descendants of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the descendants of Judah.

The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.

It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.

Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.

So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.

This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon

and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.

From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,

along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.

But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.

Now this was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph’s firstborn son, namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh and father of the Gileadites, who had received Gilead and Bashan because Machir was a man of war.
