                    Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh  
                     
                    
                    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, 
                    16:2  And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along 
                    unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 
                    16:3  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. 
                    16:4  So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took 
                    their inheritance. 
                    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 Atarothaddar, unto 
                    Bethhoron the upper; 
                    16:6  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; 
                    16:7  And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to 
                    Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 
                    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. 
                    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. 
                    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.  |
