16:5 The allocation to Efrayim’s descendants

Promised land

5 The allotment for Efrayim’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 Efrayim’s descendants according to their clans, 9 although some of the cities with their villages for Efrayim’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 Efrayim to this day and were forced to serve as labourers.[ref]

5 And_he/it_was the_territory_of the_descendants_of ʼEfrayim to_their_clans and_he/it_was the_border_of inheritance_of_their east_on ˊAţārōt Addar to Bēyt Ḩōrōn upper.

7 And_went_down from_Yānōaḩ ˊAţārōt and_Naˊₐrāh_to and_touches in/on/at/with_Yərīḩō and_came_out the_Yardēn.
8 From_Tapūaḩ it_goes the_border west_to the_wadi_of Kanah ends_of_it and_they_will_be the_sea_at this was_the_inheritance_of the_tribe_of the_descendants_of ʼEfrayim to_their_clans.
9 And_the_cities the_set_apart for_descendants_of ʼEfrayim in_the_middle of_the_inheritance_of of_the_descendants_of of_Mənashsheh all_of the_cities and_villages_of_their.

Tribal Allotments of the Promised Land

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).
