The Ephraim and Manasseh Tribes Capture Bethel
22-23 The Ephraim and Manasseh tribes[a] were getting ready to attack Bethel, which at that time was called Luz. And the Lord helped them when they sent spies to find out as much as they could about Bethel. 24 While the spies were watching the town, a man came out, and they told him, “If you show us how our army can get into the town,[b] we will make sure that you aren't harmed.”
