| 1 And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at
Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up
from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el; 2 and it went out from
Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the
border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof
were at the sea. 4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took
their inheritance.
5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families
was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar,
unto Beth-horon the upper; 6 and the border went out westward at
Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto
Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah; 7 and it went
down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and
went out at the Jordan. 8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to
the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their
families; 9 together with the cities which were set apart for the children
of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all
the cities with their villages. 10 And they drove not out the Canaanites
that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto
this day, and are become servants to do taskwork.
