Joshua 16

1 The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

2 It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth;

3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, and on to Gezer; and ended at the sea.

4 The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

5 This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper.

6 The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.

7 It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;

9 together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the middle of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

10 They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the territory of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the random Bible verse generator work?

Choose a topic, a book, and KJV or WEB, then select Generate New Verse. Every result comes from a real, numbered Scripture passage. The tools are free and do not require an account.

Is Orahly non-denominational?

Yes. Orahly is an independent, non-denominational Scripture tool for reading and reflection. It does not represent a church, and its content does not replace pastoral care or professional advice.

What is the difference between KJV and WEB?

The King James Version uses traditional English, while the World English Bible uses modern English. Some verse numbering differs between editions. Orahly preserves each edition and never silently substitutes another translation.

Is there a browser or mobile widget?

Download the free offline Chrome/Edge new-tab extension from the Widget page. Native mobile and desktop widgets are still concept previews; they are not installable apps yet.

Can I copy or share a Bible verse?

Yes. Select Copy to copy the verse and its reference, or Share Image to create an image in a square or portrait format. You can also copy a link that opens the exact same verse.
