¹And the lot of Joseph's sons came out as from the Jordan at Jericho to the water of Jericho to the east – the desert which rises from Jericho at Mount Beth-El. ²And it came out as from Beth-El to Luz, and it crossed over to the border of Archi, to Ataroth. ³And it went down to the west, to the border of Japhleti as far as the border of Lower Beth-Horon, and as far as Gezer, and its limits were at the sea. ⁴And the sons of Joseph, of Manasseh and Ephraim, inherited it. ⁵And the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families was assigned, and the border of their inheritance was to the east, in Ataroth-Addar as far as Upper Beth-Horon. ⁶And the border went out westwards to Michmethath in the north, and the border went round to the east to Taanath-Shiloh, and it passed it on the east, proceeding to Janohah. ⁷And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth and to Naarath, and it reached Jericho, and it went out to the Jordan. ⁸The border goes from Tappuah westwards to the Kanah Brook, and its limits are at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families. ⁹And the separate cities of the sons of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh – all the cities with their villages. ¹⁰But they did not dispossess the Canaanite who was living in Gezer, and the Canaanite lived in the midst of Ephraim, as it is up to this day, and they were under tribute service.
