Joshua 16:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. The land determined by lot for the people of Joseph went out from the Jordan near Jericho eastward to the waters of Jericho. It went up by the desert from Jericho to the Bethel highlands.

2. It goes from Bethel to Luz and passes on to the border of the Archites at Ataroth.

3. It goes down westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and as far as Gezer. It ends at the sea.

4. The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their legacy.

5. This was the territory for the clans of the people of Ephraim. The border of their legacy ran from Ataroth-adar on the east as far as Upper Beth-horon.
