1
And the lot for the sons of Yosef went out from the Yarden at Yericho, by the waters of Yericho toward the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Yericho into the hill country of Beit-El.
2
And it went out from Beit-El to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Arki at Atarot.
3
And it went down westward to the border of the Yafleti, as far as the border of Beit-Choron the lower, and to Gezer, and its limits were at the sea.
4
And the sons of Yosef, Menasheh and Efrayim, received their inheritance.
5
And the border of the sons of Efrayim according to their families was this: the border of their inheritance toward the east was Atrot-Addar as far as Beit-Choron the upper.
6
And the border went out toward the sea at Mikhmetat on the north, and the border turned eastward toward Taanat-Shiloh and passed by it on the east to Yanoach.
7
And it went down from Yanoach to Atarot and to Naarah, and reached Yericho, and went out at the Yarden.
8
From Tappuach the border went westward to the wadi of Qanah, and its limits were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Efrayim according to their families,
9
together with the cities set apart for the sons of Efrayim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Menasheh, all the cities with their villages.
10
And they did not dispossess the Kena’ani who dwelt in Gezer. And the Kena’ani dwelt in the midst of Efrayim to this day and became forced labor.
