1.    And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the  Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards, to  the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country  of Bethel.
 
2.    And the border went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the  border of the Archites to Ataroth,
 
3.    and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, as  far as the border of the lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer; and  ended at the sea.
 
4.    And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took  their inheritance.
 
5.    And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to  their families; the border of their inheritance eastwards was  Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon;
 
6.    and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the  north; and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh, and  passed by it eastwards to Janohah,
 
7.    and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and  touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.
 
8.    From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent  Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the  tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families,
 
9.    with the cities that were set apart for the children of  Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of  Manasseh, all the cities and their hamlets.
 
10.    But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at  Gezer; and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this  day, and serve under tribute.
