| 1The territorial allotment for the descendants of Joseph proceeded from the Jordan River by Jericho eastward of the Jericho waters into the wilderness, proceeding from Jericho through the hill country of Bethel | 1The land allotted to Joseph's descendants extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho to the east, through the desert and on up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel. |
| 2and from Bethel to Luz, continuing to the border of the Archites at Ataroth. | 2The southern border extended from Bethel to Luz, and crossed to Arkite territory at Ataroth. |
| 3It proceeded westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the territory of lower Beth-horon, then toward Gezer, ending at the Mediterranean Sea. | 3It then descended westward to Japhletite territory, as far as the territory of lower Beth Horon and Gezer, and ended at the sea. |
| 4Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance. | 4Joseph's descendants, Manasseh and Ephraim, were assigned their land. |
| 5This was the territory allocated to the descendants of Ephraim according to their families: the border of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as upper Beth-horon. | 5The territory of the tribe of Ephraim by its clans included the following: The border of their assigned land to the east was Ataroth Addar as far as upper Beth Horon. |
| 6Then the border proceeded west from Michmethath on the north, then turned east toward Taanath-shiloh, continuing to the east of Janoah. | 6It then extended on to the sea, with Micmethath on the north. It turned eastward to Taanath Shiloh and crossed it on the east to Janoah. |
| 7It proceeded from Janoah to Ataroth, then to Naarah, then proceeded to Jericho and ended at the Jordan River. | 7It then descended from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and extended to the Jordan River. |
| 8From Tappuach, the border proceeded west to the Kanah brook, ending at the Mediterranean Sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim according to their families, | 8From Tappuah it went westward to the Valley of Kanah and ended at the sea. This is the land assigned to the tribe of Ephraim by its clans. |
| 9along with the cities that had been set aside for the descendants of Ephraim within the allotment of the descendants of Manasseh, including all of the cities and villages. | 9Also included were the cities set apart for the tribe of Ephraim within Manasseh's territory, along with their towns. |
| 10However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live within the territory of Ephraim to this day, but they serve as forced laborers. | 10The Ephraimites did not conquer the Canaanites living in Gezer. The Canaanites live among the Ephraimites to this very day and do hard labor as their servants. |
