1. The lot for the descendants of Joseph went out from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, into the wilderness that goes up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.
2. From Bethel it went on to Luz and passed along to the territory of the Archites at Ataroth.
3. Then it went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the sea.
4. So the descendants of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.
5. This was the territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans: the border of their inheritance on the east ran from Ataroth-addar to Upper Beth-horon,
6. and the border went out to the sea. On the north was Michmethath; from there the border turned east to Taanath-shiloh and passed along beyond it on the east to Janoah.
7. From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8. From Tappuah the border went west along the Wadi Kanah and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim by their clans,
9. together with the towns set apart for the people of Ephraim within the inheritance of the people of Manasseh, all those towns with their villages.
10. But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived among Ephraim to this day, but they have been put to forced labor.
