Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
