[even] unto the end of Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea at the uttermost 6 part of Jordan: And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went 7 up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is] before the going up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the 8 goings out thereof were at Enrogel: And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom, unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the 9 giants northward: And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was 10 drawn to Baalah, which [is] Kirjathjearim: And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which [is] Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed 11 on to Timnah: And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; 12 and the goings out of the border, were at the sea. And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast [thereof.] This [is] the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.

And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba the father of 14 Anak, which [city is] Hebron. And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the 15 children of Anak. And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher. 16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh 17 it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. And

Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and 18 he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. And it came to pass, as she came [unto him,] that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off [her] ass; and Caleb 19 said unto her, What wouldest thou? Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper 20 springs, and the nether springs. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Ju dah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and

CHAP. XVI.

Contains an account of the general borders of the sons of Joseph; the border of the inheritance of Ephraim; and the Canaanites in Gezer not conquered.

ND the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan

to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout 2 mount Bethel, And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and pass3 eth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, And goeth down westward, to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out 4 thereof are at the sea. So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

5

And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus:] even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar unto Bethhoron the 6 upper; And the border went out toward the sea to Micmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janoah; 7 And it went down from Janoah, to Ataroth, and to Naarath, & and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. The border went from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families. And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

10

And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.

CHAP. XVII.

An account of the lot of Manasseh; his coast; the Canaanites not driven out from thence; and the children of Joseph obtain another lot.

TH

HERE was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit,] for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. 2 There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manas seh, by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and

3

for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters and these [are] the names of his daughters, 4 Mahlah, and Noah, and Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes saying, the LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of 5 their father. And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the oth6 er side Jordan; Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

7

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, and [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah. [Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim : And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea. 10 Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in 11 Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east. And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.

12

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the in habitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in 13 that land. Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.

14

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD 15 hath blessed me hitherto? And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people, [then] get thee up to the wood [country,] and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow 16 for thee. And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of

Bethshean and her towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley 17 of Jezreel. And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one 18 lot [only] But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down and the outgoings of it shall be thine for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong.

CHAP. XVIII.

The setting up of the tabernacle at Shiloh; the remainder of the land is described, and divided by lot.

A

ND the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

And there remained among the children of Israel seven 3 tribes which had not yet received their inheritance. And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack to go to possess the land which the Lord God of your 4 fathers hath given you? Give out from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come [again] to me. 5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall 6 abide in their coasts on the north. Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before 7 the LORD our God. But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance : and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which 8 Moses the servant of the LORD gave them. And the men arose, and went away and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast 9 lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh. And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts, in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host 10 at Shiloh. And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD and there Joshua divided the land unto the chil dren of Israel according to their divisions.
