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.
16:1 i.e., the half-tribes of Efraim and Manashsheh.
16:3 Variant note: תצאת/ו: (x-qere) ’תֹצְאֹתָ֖י/ו’: lemma_8444 n_0.0 morph_HNcfpc/Sp3ms id_06frk תֹצְאֹתָ֖י/ו
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).
