And the lot of the children
of Joseph
fell
from Jordan
by Jericho
, unto the water
of Jericho
on the east
, to the wilderness
that goeth up
from Jericho
throughout mount
Bethel
,
And goeth out from Bethel
to Luz
, and passeth along
unto the borders
of Archi
to Ataroth
,
And goeth down westward
to the coast
of Japhleti
, unto the coast
of Bethhoron
the nether
, and to Gezer
: and the goings out
thereof are at the sea
.
So the children of Joseph
, Manasseh
and Ephraim
, took their inheritance
.
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 Atarothaddar
, unto Bethhoron
the upper
;
And the border went out
toward the sea
to Michmethah
on the north side
; and the border
went about
eastward
unto Taanathshiloh
, and passed
by it on the east
to Janohah
;
And it went down from Janohah
to Ataroth
, and to Naarath
, and came
to Jericho
, and went out
at Jordan
.
The border went out
from Tappuah
westward
unto the river
Kanah
; and the goings out
thereof were at the sea
. This is the inheritance
of the tribe
of the children
of Ephraim
by their families
.
And the separate cities
for the children
of Ephraim
were among
the inheritance
of the children
of Manasseh
, all the cities
with their villages
.
And they drave not out the Canaanites
that dwelt
in Gezer
: but the Canaanites
dwell
among
the Ephraimites
unto this day
, and serve
under tribute
.
