Joshua 16:1 ¶ And the lot of the 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, 2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea. 4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Joshua 16:5 ¶ And the
border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even
the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto
Bethhoron the upper; 6 And the border
went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about
eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah; 7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and
to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 8 The border went out from Tappuah westward
unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families. 9 And the separate cities for the children of
Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities
with their villages. 10 And they drave
not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the
Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve
under tribute.
As of the writing of Joshua the Ephraimites had not driven out
Canaanites from their possessions, their conquests.
Judges 1:29 Neither did
Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt
in Gezer among them.
This will be a great problem for Ephraim as it will result in that
tribe’s downfall.
Hosea 4:17 Ephraim is
joined to idols: let him alone.
Hosea 5:3 I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom,
and Israel is defiled.
Ephraim is not mentioned in Revelation but the tribe of Joseph
is, which is linked to Manasseh in Numbers.
Revelation 7:8 Of the tribe
of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Numbers 13:11 Of the tribe
of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
Ephraim becomes Samaria. The original tribe was carried away by
the Assyrians.
Isaiah 7:9 And the head of
Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not
believe, surely ye shall not be established.
Isaiah 9:9 And all the
people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the
pride and stoutness of heart,
Hosea 7:1 When I would have
healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness
of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop
of robbers spoileth without.
Obadiah 1:19 And they of
the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the
Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of
Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
2Kings 17:5 Then the king
of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and
besieged it three years. :6 In the ninth
year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into
Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in
the cities of the Medes…24 And the king
of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from
Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead
of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities
thereof…26 Wherefore they spake to the
king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the
cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he
hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not
the manner of the God of the land.
