1. And the lot[H1486] came[H3318] out for the children[H1121] of Joseph[H3130] from the Jordan[H3383] at Jericho[H3405], at the waters[H4325] of Jericho[H3405] on the east[H4217], even the wilderness[H4057], going up[H5927] from Jericho[H3405] through the hill-country[H2022] to Beth-el[H1008];
2. and it went out[H3318] from Beth-el[H1008] to Luz[H3870], and passed along[H5674] unto the border[H1366] of the Archites[H757] to Ataroth[H5852];
3. and it went down[H3381] westward[H3220] to the border[H1366] of the Japhletites[H3311], unto the border[H1366] of Beth-horon[H1032] the nether[H8481], even unto Gezer[H1507]; and the goings out[H8444] thereof were at the sea[H3220].
4. And the children[H1121] of Joseph[H3130], Manasseh[H4519] and Ephraim[H669], took their inheritance[H5157].
5. And the border[H1366] of the children[H1121] of Ephraim[H669] according to their families[H4940] was thus[H1366]: the border of their inheritance[H5159] eastward[H4217] was Ataroth-addar[H5853], unto Beth-horon[H1032] the upper[H5945];
6. and the border[H1366] went out[H3318] westward[H3220] at Michmethath[H4366] on the north[H6828]; and the border[H1366] turned about[H5437] eastward[H4217] unto Taanath-shiloh[H8387], and passed[H5674] along it on the east[H4217] of Janoah[H3239];
7. and it went down[H3381] from Janoah[H3239] to Ataroth[H5852], and to Naarah[H5292], and reached[H6293] unto Jericho[H3405], and went out[H3318] at the Jordan[H3383].
8. From Tappuah[H8599] the border[H1366] went along westward[H3220] to the brook[H5158] of Kanah[H7071]; and the goings out[H8444] thereof were at the sea[H3220]. This is the inheritance[H5159] of the tribe[H4294] of the children[H1121] of Ephraim[H669] according to their families[H4940];
9. together with the cities[H5892] which were set apart[H3995] for the children[H1121] of Ephraim[H669] in the midst[H8432] of the inheritance[H5159] of the children[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519], all the cities[H5892] with their villages[H2691].
10. And they drove not out[H3423] the Canaanites[H3669] that dwelt[H3427] in Gezer[H1507]: but the Canaanites[H3669] dwell[H3427] in the midst[H7130] of Ephraim[H669] unto this day[H3117], and are become servants[H5647] to do taskwork[H4522].
