This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

16:1 The allocation to Yosef’s descendants

16The block for Yosef’s descendants[fn] went from the Yordan at Yericho (east of the springs), through the wilderness into the hill country of Beyt-El. 2It went out from Beyt-El to Luz then along the border with the Arkites at Atarot. 3Then it went west to the border with the Yafletites as far as the border with Lower Beyt-Horon and as far as Gezer, then out to the Mediterranean.

4So Yosef’s sons Manashsheh and Efraim received an inheritance.

16:5 The allocation to Efraim’s descendants

5The allotment for Efraim’s descendants according to their clans was at Atarot-Addar in the east, going as far as Upper Beyt-Horon 6and out to the Mediterranean. From Mikmetat in the north, the border went eastward toward Taanat-Shiloh then further east to Yanoah. 7From Yanoah it went to Atarot and Naarah, reached Yericho then came out at the Yordan. 8The northern border went from Tappuah to the Kanah riverbed and then out to the Mediterranean. That was the inheritance of Efraim’s descendants according to their clans, 9although some of the cities with their villages for Efraim’s descendants were actually inside the territory assigned to Manashsheh’s descendants. 10But they didn’t capture the land of the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so they’ve lived within Efraim to this day and were forced to serve as labourers.[ref]


16:1 i.e., the half-tribes of Efraim and Manashsheh.


16:10: Jdg 1:29.
