Joshua 16

¹ The lot of the children of Joseph went out from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel. ² It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth, ³ and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of lower Beth Horon even to Gezer; and it ended at the sea.

⁴ The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

⁵ The border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to upper Beth Horon; ⁶ and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah. ⁷ It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan. ⁸ From Tappuah the border went westward to the brook of Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families; ⁹ together with the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the middle of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

¹⁰ They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the middle of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.
