Jos 16:1
16:1 And the lot of the {a} children of Joseph fell from Jordan
     by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the
     wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount
     Bethel,

     (a) That is, to Ephraim and his children: for Manasseh's
         portion follows.

Jos 16:3
16:3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the
     coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings
     out {b} thereof are at the sea.

     (b) Of their inheritance.

Jos 16:4
16:4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, {c} took
     their inheritance.

     (c) Severally, first Ephraim, and then Manasseh.

Jos 16:7
16:7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath,
     and came to Jericho, {d} and went out at Jordan.

     (d) For so far the coasts reach.

Jos 16:9
16:9 And the {e} separate cities for the children of Ephraim
     [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh,
     all the cities with their villages.

     (e) Because Ephraim's tribe was far greater than Manasseh,
         therefore he had more cities.
