23The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
24The watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray you, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.
25He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
26The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz, which is the name of it to this day.
27Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns, nor [of] Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
29Ephraim didn`t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
