1 Then came out the lot, for the sons of Joseph, from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho, eastward, - the desert, going up from Jericho, through the hill country to Bethel;
2 and it goeth out from Bethel towards Luz, - and passeth over unto the boundary of the Archites at Ataroth;
3 and descendeth westward, unto the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Bethhoron the nether, and as far as Gezer, - and the extensions thereof are to the sea.
4 So the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.
5 And the boundary of the sons of Ephraim, by their families, was, - yea the boundary of their inheritance on the east, was Ataroth-addar, as far as Beth-horon the upper;
6 and the boundary goeth out westward at Michmethath, on the north, then the boundary bendeth round easward, to Taanath-shiloh, - and passeth by it on the east to Janoah;
7 and goeth down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, - and toucheth upon Jericho, and goeth out at the Jordan.
8 From Tappuah, runneth the boundary along westward, to the ravine of Kanah, and the extensions thereof are to the sea, - this, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, by their families;
9 together with the cities which were separated for the sons of Ephraim, in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, - all the cities, with their villages.
10 But they did not dispossess the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gazer, - so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and have become tributary servants.
