23 And the house of Yosĕph sent men to spy out Bĕyth Ěl – now the name of the city was formerly Luz.
24 And the watchmen saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we shall show you kindness.”
25 So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword. But the man and all his clan they let go,
26 and the man went to the land of the Ḥittites and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 And Menashsheh did not dispossess Bĕyth She’an and its villages, nor Ta‛anaḵ and its villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, nor the inhabitants of Yiḇle‛am and its villages, nor the inhabitants of Meg̅iddo and its villages, for the Kena‛anites desired to dwell in that land.
28 And it came to be, when Yisra’ĕl was strong, that they put the Kena‛anites into compulsory labour, but did not completely drive them out.
29 Neither did Ephrayim drive out the Kena‛anites who dwelt in Gezer, so the Kena‛anites dwelt in their midst, in Gezer.
