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]

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).
