JOSHUA 16
THE LAND ALLOTMENT FOR EPHRAIM + MANASSEH
Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were previously given Joseph's inheritance before his death (Genesis 48). Their ancestors are considered half-tribes and are each allotted land within Canaan. First, land is allotted to Ephraim.
Instead of following God’s command to rid the land of Canaanites, the tribe of Ephraim lets the remaining Canaanites reside in their allotted land.
STUDY QUESTIONS
Joshua 16 briefly lists the borders of Ephraim’s land. Why might it have been important for each tribe to know the specific boundaries of their inheritance?
