We are so blessed that the Father brought us together to further YHVH's Kingdom in Uganda! Musumba connected with my son, who connected me to Musumba, who connected me to his mother, Fazira, in late 2018. The Binji ministry came from that connection. We minister in six villages at present, touching hundreds of lives with the Redeeming power of the Holy Spirit of the Living God. Come pray and partner with us!

However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have been made to do forced labor.
Joshua 16:10
If Ephraim had succeeded in driving out the Gezerites, would Dan have had such a hard time taking control of their territory? Failures in any one tribe overflowed into the others. Eventually the Gezerites were completely absorbed into Israel.
Even though they were counted as separate tribes, the people of Ephraim and Manasseh were still intimately linked in the minds of the ancient Hebrews. Ephraim had more people than Manasseh, but they had a much smaller territory. Joshua compensated for this by giving Ephraim pockets of territory within Manasseh. They weren't the only tribe to be given bits of land within their neighbor's boundaries. Such arrangements probably served to strengthen the political and cultural ties between the tribes and lessen the chances of civil war.
