Ephraim and West Manasseh

16 The lot 1fell to the children of Joseph from the Jordan, by Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the awilderness that goes up from Jericho through the mountains to 2Bethel, 2 then went out 3from bBethel to Luz, passed along to the border of the Archites at Ataroth, 3 and went down westward to the boundary of the Japhletites, cas far as the boundary of Lower Beth Horon to dGezer; and 4it ended at the sea.

4 eSo the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their 5inheritance.

The Land of Ephraim

5 fThe border of the children of Ephraim, according to their families, was thus: The border of their inheritance on the east side was gAtaroth Addar has far as Upper Beth Horon.

6 And the border went out toward the sea on the north side of iMichmethath; then the border went around eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed by it on the east of Janohah. 7 Then it went down from Janohah to Ataroth and 6Naarah, reached to Jericho, and came out at the Jordan.

8 The border went out from jTappuah westward to the kBrook Kanah, and 7it ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families. 9 lThe separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

10 mAnd they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day and have become forced laborers.
