Joshua 16 - Matthew's Bible 1537

¹ And the lot of the children of Ioseph felle from Iordan by Iericho, vnto the water of Iericho Eastward, and the wildernesse that goeth vp from Iericho, thorow out mount Bethel,

² and then goeth out from Bethel to Lus, & runneth a longe vnto the borders of Arciatharoth,

³ and goeth doune westwarde, euen to the coastes of Iaphlethi, & vnto the coastes of Bethhoron the nether, & so to Gasor, & the endes of their coastes came to the sea.

⁴ And so the children of Ioseph, Manasses & Ephraim toke their enheritaunce.

⁵ An the children of Ephraim toke their coastes by kynredes. And the coastes of their enheritaunce Eastwarde were, Ataroth Ador, euen vnto Bethhoron the vpper,

⁶ and went out westwarde to Machmathah on the Northsyde, and compassed Eastwarde vnto Thaanath Silo, & past it on the Eastside vnto Ianoah,

⁷ & went doune from Ianoah to Ataroth & Naarath, and met at Iericho, & went out at Iordan.

⁸ And their borders wente from Thaphuah westwarde vnto the Riuer Kanah, & the endes were the sea. This is the enheritaunce of the tribe of the children of Ephraim in theyr kynredes,

⁹ & the bordering cities of the children of Ephraim, lye amonge the enheritaunce of the children of Manasses: euen al the cyties wt their villages.

¹⁰ Notwithstandinge they draue not out the Cananites that dwelte in Gasor: but the Cananites dwelt among the Ephraites vnto this daye, and paye tribute.
