The Territory Assigned to Ephraim and
West Manasseh
1 The southern boundary of the
land assigned to the descendants
of Joseph started from the Jordan
near Jericho, at a point east of
the springs of Jericho, and went into
the desert. It went from Jericho up
into the hill country as far as Bethel.
2 From Bethel it went to Luz, passing
on to Ataroth Addar, where the Archites
lived.
3 It then went west to
the area of the Japhletites, as far as
the area of Lower Beth Horon. It
went on from there to Gezer and
ended at the Mediterranean Sea.
4 The descendants of Joseph, the
tribes of Ephraim and West Manasseh,
received this land as their possession.
Ephraim
5 This was the territory of the
Ephraimite families: their border ran
from Ataroth Addar eastward to Upper
Beth Horon,
6 and from there to
the Mediterranean Sea. Michmethath
was on their north. East of
there the border bent toward Taanath
Shiloh and went past it on the
east to Janoah.
7 Then it went down
from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah,
reaching Jericho and ending at the
Jordan.
8 The border went west from
Tappuah to the stream Kanah and
ended at the Mediterranean Sea.
This was the land given to the families
of the tribe of Ephraim as their
possession,
9 along with some towns
and villages that were within the
borders of Manasseh, but given to
the Ephraimites.
10 But they did not
drive out the Canaanites who lived
in Gezer, so the Canaanites have
lived among the Ephraimites to this
day, but they have been forced to
work as slaves. note
