1
The allotment to the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan River near Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, through the wilderness and into the hill country of Bethel.
2
From Bethel (that is, Luz) it ran over to Ataroth in the territory of the Arkites.
3
Then it descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer and on over to the Mediterranean Sea.
4
The families of Joseph's sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.
5
The following territory was given to the families of the tribe of Ephraim as their inheritance. The eastern boundary of their inheritance began at Ataroth-addar. From there it ran to Upper Beth-horon,
6
then on to the Mediterranean Sea. The northern boundary began at the Mediterranean, ran east past Micmethath, then curved eastward past Taanath-shiloh to the east of Janoah.
7
From Janoah it turned southward to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and ended at the Jordan River.
8
From Tappuah the border extended westward, following the Kanah Ravine to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the inheritance given to the families of the tribe of Ephraim.
9
Ephraim was also given some towns with surrounding villages in the territory of the half-tribe of Manasseh.
10
They 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.
