[1] And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went
out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the
waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el; [2]
And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the
Archites to Ataroth; [3] And it goes down to the west to the limit of the
Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending
at the sea. [4] And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took
their heritage. [5] And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by
their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to
the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher; [6] The line goes out
to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to
Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah; [7] And from Janoah
down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.
[8] From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending
at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their
families; [9] Together with the towns marked out for the children of
Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled
places. [10] And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced
out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as
servants, doing forced work.
