Verse 28
And their possessions and habitations ,.... That is, of the sons of Ephraim, when come into the land of Canaan:
were Bethel, and the towns thereof ; the villages belonging to it, which was formerly called Luz, and was the border of Ephraim, Joshua 16:7 .
and eastward Naaran : the same with Naarath, Joshua 16:7 .
and westward Gezer, with the towns thereof ; of which see Joshua 16:3 ,
and Shechem also, and the towns thereof ; which was a city of refuge in Mount Ephraim, Joshua 20:7
unto Gaza, and the towns thereof ; not Gaza, a city of the Philistines, for the tribe of Ephraim did not reach so far; the Targum calls it Aiah; it may be read Adaza, as in the margin of our Bibles.
