SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:1–17:18 The clans of Ephraim and Manasseh received their land

This section describes the boundaries of the land given to Ephraim and to Manasseh, and the towns within each of their lands.

16:4

So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.

So the descendants of Joseph, that is the clans of Ephraim and Manasseh, received this land as their inheritance.
The sons of Joseph, which were the clans of Ephraim and Manasseh, received their land according to the boundary lines given above.

So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance: This verse is the conclusion to the paragraph. It may be helpful to add a conjunction or a phrase which shows that this is a conclusion, like the BSB does with So. For another example:

The people of Joseph, namely Manasseh and Ephraim, received their land according to the boundary lines given above

Ephraim and Manasseh: It may be helpful to state that the clans of Ephraim and Manasseh are the descendants of Joseph. For example:

the descendants of Joseph, that is, the clans of Ephraim and Manasseh

Manasseh: Manasseh was the first son of Joseph so he is listed first in the Hebrew. In the paragraph that follows, the land that Ephraim received is described before that of Manasseh. This reflects the story in Genesis 48, in which Joseph blessed Ephraim before he blessed Manasseh.Woudstra p.256.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְנֵי־יוֹסֵ֖ף מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה וְ⁠אֶפְרָֽיִם

sons_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) Mənashsheh and,Ephraim

The author is speaking as if the people of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were actually the sons of Joseph. Alternate translation: [And the descendants of Joseph, the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּנְחֲל֥וּ

and,they_received_their_inheritance

As the Introduction to Joshua discusses, here and throughout this chapter, the author is using the idea of inheriting by association to mean receiving a lasting possession that would be passed down to future generations. Alternate translation: [And … received territory as a lasting possession]
