Title: Uncompromised Obedience to the Word of God!
Scripture: Joshua 16 : 5 - 10
5 The territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon,
6 and the boundary goes from there to the sea. On the north is Michmethath. Then on the east the boundary turns around toward Taanath-shiloh and passes along beyond it on the east to Janoah,
7 then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan.
8 From Tappuah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Ephraim by their clans,
9 together with the towns that were set apart for the people of Ephraim within the inheritance of the Manassites, all those towns with their villages.
10 However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have been made to do forced labor.
