1And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout Mount Bethel, 2And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 3And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, unto the border of Beth-horon the lower, and to Gezer: and the end {goings out} thereof are at the sea.

4So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. 5And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was At-aroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper; 6And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janoah; 7And it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and came to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan. 8The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the end {goings out} thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families. 9And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 10And they drove not out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and have become slaves to do forced labor {serve under tribute}.
