Explanation preview
After Joshua's death, the tribes of Israel are securing the land promised to them, and the house of Joseph, meaning Ephraim and Manasseh, moves against the city of Bethel. The verse notes that Bethel was formerly called Luz, a detail the narrator uses to connect the old Canaanite name with the place Israel will claim.
