21 ^aBut the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

22 And the¹ house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, ^aand the Lord was with them.

23 So the¹ house of Joseph ^asent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly ^bLuz.)
