Joshua, Chapter 16

  
1. And the lot fell for the children of Joseph from the Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
  
2. And goes out from Bethel to Luz, and passes along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
  
3. And goes down westward to the territory of Japhleti, to the territory of Beth-horon the lower, and to Gezer, and comes out at the sea.
  
4. So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
  
5. And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the upper;
  
6. And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went around eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
  
7. And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
  
8. The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah, and came out at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
  
9. And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
  
10. And they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
