16:1 The allocation to Yosef’s descendants
16 The block for Yosef’s descendants[fn] went from the Yordan at Yericho (east of the springs), through the wilderness into the hill country of Bethel. 2 It went out from Bethel to Luz then along the border with the Arkites at Atarot. 3 Then 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.
4 So Yosef’s sons Manashsheh and Efraim received an inheritance.
16:5 The allocation to Efraim’s descendants
5 The allotment for Efraim’s descendants according to their clans was at Atarot-Addar in the east, going as far as Upper Beyt-Horon 6 and out to the Mediterranean. From Mikmetat in the north, the border went eastward toward Taanat-Shiloh then further east to Yanoah. 7 From Yanoah it went to Atarot and Naarah, reached Yericho then came out at the Yordan. 8 The 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, 9 although some of the cities with their villages for Efraim’s descendants were actually inside the territory assigned to Manashsheh’s descendants. 10 But 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.

After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
