| 1The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan River near Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, through the wilderness and into 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. |
| 2From Bethel (that is, Luz) it ran over to Ataroth in the territory of the Arkites. | 2The southern border extended from Bethel to Luz, and crossed to Arkite territory at Ataroth. |
| 3Then it descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer and over to 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. |
| 4This was the homeland allocated to the families of Joseph’s sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Land Given to Ephraim | 4Joseph's descendants, Manasseh and Ephraim, were assigned their land. |
| 5The following territory was given to the clans of the tribe of Ephraim. The boundary of their homeland began at Ataroth-addar in the east. From there it ran to 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 on to the Mediterranean Sea. From Micmethath on the north, the boundary curved eastward past Taanath-shiloh 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. |
| 7From Janoah it turned southward to Ataroth and Naarah, touched 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 Tappuah the boundary extended westward, following the Kanah Ravine to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the homeland allocated to the clans of the tribe of Ephraim. | 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. |
| 9In addition, some towns with their surrounding villages in the territory allocated to the half-tribe of Manasseh were set aside for the tribe of Ephraim. | 9Also included were the cities set apart for the tribe of Ephraim within Manasseh's territory, along with their towns. |
| 10They did not drive the Canaanites out of Gezer, however, so the people of Gezer live as slaves among the people of Ephraim to this day. | 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. |
