22 The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel: and Jehovah was with them.
23 The house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel.
24 The spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him: »Show us the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy.«
25 When he showed them the entrance into the city, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But spared the man and all his family.
26 The man went into the land of the Hittites and built a city. He called it Luz, which is its name this day.
27 Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites wanted to live in that land.
28 When Israel was strong they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor. They did not completely drive them out.
29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that lived in Gezer. But the Canaanites lived among them in Gezer.
