1. Then Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the elders, leaders, judges and officials of Israel, and they presented themselves before God.

2. Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your forefathers, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the River and worshiped other gods.

3. But I took your father Abraham from the land beyond the River and led him throughout Canaan and gave him many descendants. I gave him Isaac,

4. and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I assigned the hill country of Seir to Esau, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.

5. “‘Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians by what I did there, and I brought you out.

6. When I brought your fathers out of Egypt, you came to the sea, and the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea.

7. But they cried to the LORD for help, and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians; he brought the sea over them and covered them. You saw with your own eyes what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the desert for a long time.

8. “‘I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived east of the Jordan. They fought against you, but I gave them into your hands. I destroyed them from before you, and you took possession of their land.

9. When Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab, prepared to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam son of Beor to put a curse on you.

10. But I would not listen to Balaam, so he blessed you again and again, and I delivered you out of his hand.

11. “‘Then you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. The citizens of Jericho fought against you, as did also the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites, but I gave them into your hands.

12. I sent the hornet ahead of you, which drove them out before you– also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow.

13. So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’

14. “Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

15. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

16. Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods!

17. It was the LORD our God himself who brought us and our fathers up out of Egypt, from that land of slavery, and performed those great signs before our eyes. He protected us on our entire journey and among all the nations through which we traveled.

18. And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites, who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because he is our God.”

19. Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the LORD. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins.

20. If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, he will turn and bring disaster on you and make an end of you, after he has been good to you.”

21. But the people said to Joshua, “No! We will serve the LORD.”

22. Then Joshua said, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve the LORD.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” they replied.

23. “Now then,” said Joshua, “throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.”

24. And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God and obey him.”

25. On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he drew up for them decrees and laws.

26. And Joshua recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of the LORD.

27. “See!” he said to all the people. “This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.”

28. Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.

29. After these things, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of a hundred and ten.

30. And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

31. Israel served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced everything the LORD had done for Israel.

32. And Joseph’s bones, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the tract of land that Jacob bought for a hundred pieces of silver from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. This became the inheritance of Joseph’s descendants.

33. And Eleazar son of Aaron died and was buried at Gibeah, which had been allotted to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.

1. After a long time had passed and the LORD had given Israel rest from all their enemies around them, Joshua, by then old and well advanced in years,

2. summoned all Israel– their elders, leaders, judges and officials– and said to them: “I am old and well advanced in years.

3. You yourselves have seen everything the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the LORD your God who fought for you.

4. Remember how I have allotted as an inheritance for your tribes all the land of the nations that remain– the nations I conquered– between the Jordan and the Great Sea in the west.

5. The LORD your God himself will drive them out of your way. He will push them out before you, and you will take possession of their land, as the LORD your God promised you.

6. “Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left.

7. Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. You must not serve them or bow down to them.

8. But you are to hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have until now.

9. “The LORD has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you.

10. One of you routs a thousand, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as he promised.

11. So be very careful to love the LORD your God.

12. “But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you and if you intermarry with them and associate with them,

13. then you may be sure that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land, which the LORD your God has given you.

14. “Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.

15. But just as every good promise of the LORD your God has come true, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil he has threatened, until he has destroyed you from this good land he has given you.

16. If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the LORD’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you.”

1. Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh

2. and said to them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded.

3. For a long time now– to this very day– you have not deserted your brothers but have carried out the mission the LORD your God gave you.

4. Now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as he promised, return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

5. But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul.”

6. Then Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their homes.

7. (To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan, and to the other half of the tribe Joshua gave land on the west side of the Jordan with their brothers.) When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them,

8. saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth– with large herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze and iron, and a great quantity of clothing– and divide with your brothers the plunder from your enemies.”

9. So the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in Canaan to return to Gilead, their own land, which they had acquired in accordance with the command of the LORD through Moses.

10. When they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar there by the Jordan.

11. And when the Israelites heard that they had built the altar on the border of Canaan at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side,

12. the whole assembly of Israel gathered at Shiloh to go to war against them.

13. So the Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, to the land of Gilead– to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

14. With him they sent ten of the chief men, one for each of the tribes of Israel, each the head of a family division among the Israelite clans.

15. When they went to Gilead– to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh– they said to them:

16. “The whole assembly of the LORD says: ‘How could you break faith with the God of Israel like this? How could you turn away from the LORD and build yourselves an altar in rebellion against him now?

17. Was not the sin of Peor enough for us? Up to this very day we have not cleansed ourselves from that sin, even though a plague fell on the community of the LORD!

18. And are you now turning away from the LORD? “‘If you rebel against the LORD today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole community of Israel.

19. If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the LORD’s land, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and share the land with us. But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building an altar for yourselves, other than the altar of the LORD our God.

20. When Achan son of Zerah acted unfaithfully regarding the devoted things, did not wrath come upon the whole community of Israel? He was not the only one who died for his sin.'”

21. Then Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh replied to the heads of the clans of Israel:

22. “The Mighty One, God, the LORD! The Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows! And let Israel know! If this has been in rebellion or disobedience to the LORD, do not spare us this day.

23. If we have built our own altar to turn away from the LORD and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD himself call us to account.

24. “No! We did it for fear that some day your descendants might say to ours, ‘What do you have to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

25. The LORD has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you– you Reubenites and Gadites! You have no share in the LORD.’ So your descendants might cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.

26. “That is why we said, ‘Let us get ready and build an altar– but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.’

27. On the contrary, it is to be a witness between us and you and the generations that follow, that we will worship the LORD at his sanctuary with our burnt offerings, sacrifices and fellowship offerings. Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to ours, ‘You have no share in the LORD.’

28. “And we said, ‘If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the LORD’s altar, which our fathers built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’

29. “Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD and turn away from him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings and sacrifices, other than the altar of the LORD our God that stands before his tabernacle.”

30. When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the community– the heads of the clans of the Israelites– heard what Reuben, Gad and Manasseh had to say, they were pleased.

31. And Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to Reuben, Gad and Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is with us, because you have not acted unfaithfully toward the LORD in this matter. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the LORD’s hand.”

32. Then Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, and the leaders returned to Canaan from their meeting with the Reubenites and Gadites in Gilead and reported to the Israelites.

33. They were glad to hear the report and praised God. And they talked no more about going to war against them to devastate the country where the Reubenites and the Gadites lived.

34. And the Reubenites and the Gadites gave the altar this name: A Witness Between Us that the LORD is God.

1. Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribal families of Israel

2. at Shiloh in Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that you give us towns to live in, with pasturelands for our livestock.”

3. So, as the LORD had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own inheritance:

4. The first lot came out for the Kohathites, clan by clan. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin.

5. The rest of Kohath’s descendants were allotted ten towns from the clans of the tribes of Ephraim, Dan and half of Manasseh.

6. The descendants of Gershon were allotted thirteen towns from the clans of the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

7. The descendants of Merari, clan by clan, received twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun.

8. So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these towns and their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.

9. From the tribes of Judah and Simeon they allotted the following towns by name

10. (these towns were assigned to the descendants of Aaron who were from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them):

11. They gave them Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)

12. But the fields and villages around the city they had given to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.

13. So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron (a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Libnah,

14. Jattir, Eshtemoa,

15. Holon, Debir,

16. Ain, Juttah and Beth Shemesh, together with their pasturelands– nine towns from these two tribes.

17. And from the tribe of Benjamin they gave them Gibeon, Geba,

18. Anathoth and Almon, together with their pasturelands– four towns.

19. All the towns for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were thirteen, together with their pasturelands.

20. The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted towns from the tribe of Ephraim:

21. In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Gezer,

22. Kibzaim and Beth Horon, together with their pasturelands– four towns.

23. Also from the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon,

24. Aijalon and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands– four towns.

25. From half the tribe of Manasseh they received Taanach and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands– two towns.

26. All these ten towns and their pasturelands were given to the rest of the Kohathite clans.

27. The Levite clans of the Gershonites were given: from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan (a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Be Eshtarah, together with their pasturelands– two towns;

28. from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion, Daberath,

29. Jarmuth and En Gannim, together with their pasturelands– four towns;

30. from the tribe of Asher, Mishal, Abdon,

31. Helkath and Rehob, together with their pasturelands– four towns;

32. from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee (a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Hammoth Dor and Kartan, together with their pasturelands– three towns.

33. All the towns of the Gershonite clans were thirteen, together with their pasturelands.

34. The Merarite clans (the rest of the Levites) were given: from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam, Kartah,

35. Dimnah and Nahalal, together with their pasturelands– four towns;

36. from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer, Jahaz,

37. Kedemoth and Mephaath, together with their pasturelands– four towns;

38. from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead (a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Mahanaim,

39. Heshbon and Jazer, together with their pasturelands– four towns in all.

40. All the towns allotted to the Merarite clans, who were the rest of the Levites, were twelve.

41. The towns of the Levites in the territory held by the Israelites were forty-eight in all, together with their pasturelands.

42. Each of these towns had pasturelands surrounding it; this was true for all these towns.

43. So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their forefathers, and they took possession of it and settled there.

44. The LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their forefathers. Not one of their enemies withstood them; the LORD handed all their enemies over to them.

45. Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.

1. Then the LORD said to Joshua:

2. “Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,

3. so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there and find protection from the avenger of blood.

4. “When he flees to one of these cities, he is to stand in the entrance of the city gate and state his case before the elders of that city. Then they are to admit him into their city and give him a place to live with them.

5. If the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not surrender the one accused, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally and without malice aforethought.

6. He is to stay in that city until he has stood trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest who is serving at that time. Then he may go back to his own home in the town from which he fled.”

7. So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

8. On the east side of the Jordan of Jericho they designated Bezer in the desert on the plateau in the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead in the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan in the tribe of Manasseh.

9. Any of the Israelites or any alien living among them who killed someone accidentally could flee to these designated cities and not be killed by the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.

8. and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah in the Negev). This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Simeonites, clan by clan.

9. The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah, because Judah’s portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.

10. The third lot came up for Zebulun, clan by clan: The boundary of their inheritance went as far as Sarid.

11. Going west it ran to Maralah, touched Dabbesheth, and extended to the ravine near Jokneam.

12. It turned east from Sarid toward the sunrise to the territory of Kisloth Tabor and went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.

13. Then it continued eastward to Gath Hepher and Eth Kazin; it came out at Rimmon and turned toward Neah.

14. There the boundary went around on the north to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El.

15. Included were Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah and Bethlehem. There were twelve towns and their villages.

16. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of Zebulun, clan by clan.

23. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Issachar, clan by clan.

24. The fifth lot came out for the tribe of Asher, clan by clan.

25. Their territory included: Helkath, Hali, Beten, Acshaph,

26. Allammelech, Amad and Mishal. On the west the boundary touched Carmel and Shihor Libnath.

27. It then turned east toward Beth Dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah El, and went north to Beth Emek and Neiel, passing Cabul on the left.

28. It went to Abdon, Rehob, Hammon and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.

29. The boundary then turned back toward Ramah and went to the fortified city of Tyre, turned toward Hosah and came out at the sea in the region of Aczib,

30. Ummah, Aphek and Rehob. There were twenty-two towns and their villages.

31. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Asher, clan by clan.

32. The sixth lot came out for Naphtali, clan by clan:

33. Their boundary went from Heleph and the large tree in Zaanannim, passing Adami Nekeb and Jabneel to Lakkum and ending at the Jordan.

34. The boundary ran west through Aznoth Tabor and came out at Hukkok. It touched Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west and the Jordan on the east.

35. The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth,

36. Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

37. Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor,

42. Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43. Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

44. Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

45. Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon,

46. Me Jarkon and Rakkon, with the area facing Joppa.

47. (But the Danites had difficulty taking possession of their territory, so they went up and attacked Leshem, took it, put it to the sword and occupied it. They settled in Leshem and named it Dan after their forefather.)

48. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, clan by clan.

49. When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

50. as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for– Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there.

51. These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. And so they finished dividing the land.

여호수아 18장 – 음성녹음

1. The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The country was brought under their control,

2. but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.

3. So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

4. Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me.

5. You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the house of Joseph in its territory on the north.

6. After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the LORD our God.

7. The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the LORD gave it to them.”

8. As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, “Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”

9. So the men left and went through the land. They wrote its description on a scroll, town by town, in seven parts, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.

10. Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions.

11. The lot came up for the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:

12. On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan, passed the northern slope of Jericho and headed west into the hill country, coming out at the desert of Beth Aven.

13. From there it crossed to the south slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth Addar on the hill south of Lower Beth Horon.

14. From the hill facing Beth Horon on the south the boundary turned south along the western side and came out at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a town of the people of Judah. This was the western side.

15. The southern side began at the outskirts of Kiriath Jearim on the west, and the boundary came out at the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

16. The boundary went down to the foot of the hill facing the Valley of Ben Hinnom, north of the Valley of Rephaim. It continued down the Hinnom Valley along the southern slope of the Jebusite city and so to En Rogel.

17. It then curved north, went to En Shemesh, continued to Geliloth, which faces the Pass of Adummim, and ran down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

18. It continued to the northern slope of Beth Arabah and on down into the Arabah.

19. It then went to the northern slope of Beth Hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan in the south. This was the southern boundary.

20. The Jordan formed the boundary on the eastern side. These were the boundaries that marked out the inheritance of the clans of Benjamin on all sides.

21. The tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, had the following cities: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

22. Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

23. Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,

24. Kephar Ammoni, Ophni and Geba– twelve towns and their villages.

25. Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,

26. Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,

27. Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,

28. Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah and Kiriath– fourteen towns and their villages. This was the inheritance of Benjamin for its clans.

1. This was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph’s firstborn, that is, for Makir, Manasseh’s firstborn. Makir was the ancestor of the Gileadites, who had received Gilead and Bashan because the Makirites were great soldiers.

2. So this allotment was for the rest of the people of Manasseh– the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher and Shemida. These are the other male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.

3. Now Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons but only daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

4. They went to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to the LORD’s command.

5. Manasseh’s share consisted of ten tracts of land besides Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan,

6. because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an inheritance among the sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh.

7. The territory of Manasseh extended from Asher to Micmethath east of Shechem. The boundary ran southward from there to include the people living at En Tappuah.

8. (Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah itself, on the boundary of Manasseh, belonged to the Ephraimites.)

9. Then the boundary continued south to the Kanah Ravine. There were towns belonging to Ephraim lying among the towns of Manasseh, but the boundary of Manasseh was the northern side of the ravine and ended at the sea.

10. On the south the land belonged to Ephraim, on the north to Manasseh. The territory of Manasseh reached the sea and bordered Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.

11. Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh also had Beth Shan, Ibleam and the people of Dor, Endor, Taanach and Megiddo, together with their surrounding settlements (the third in the list is Naphoth).

12. Yet the Manassites were not able to occupy these towns, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that region.

13. However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor but did not drive them out completely.

14. The people of Joseph said to Joshua, “Why have you given us only one allotment and one portion for an inheritance? We are a numerous people and the LORD has blessed us abundantly.”

15. “If you are so numerous,” Joshua answered, “and if the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, go up into the forest and clear land for yourselves there in the land of the Perizzites and Rephaites.”

16. The people of Joseph replied, “The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the plain have iron chariots, both those in Beth Shan and its settlements and those in the Valley of Jezreel.”

17. But Joshua said to the house of Joseph– to Ephraim and Manasseh– “You are numerous and very powerful. You will have not only one allotment

18. but the forested hill country as well. Clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours; though the Canaanites have iron chariots and though they are strong, you can drive them out.”

3. descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the region of Lower Beth Horon and on to Gezer, ending at the sea.

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

5. This was the territory of Ephraim, clan by clan: The boundary of their inheritance went from Ataroth Addar in the east to Upper Beth Horon

6. and continued to the sea. From Micmethath on the north it curved eastward to Taanath Shiloh, passing by it to Janoah on the east.

7. Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

8. From Tappuah the border went west to the Kanah Ravine and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites, clan by clan.

10. They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.

15. From there he marched against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).

16. And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”

17. Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.

18. One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”

19. She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
