1 And the lot for the children of YosÄph went out from the YardÄn, by Yeriįø„o, to the waters of Yeriįø„o on the east, to the wilderness going up from Yeriįø„o through the mountains to BÄyth Äl,
2 and went out from BÄyth Äl to Luz, and passed over to the border of the Arkites at Ataroth,
3 and went down westward to the boundary of the YaphlÄtites, as far as the boundary of Lower BÄyth įø¤oron to Gezer, and it ended at the sea.
4 Thus the children of YosÄph, Menashsheh and Ephrayim, inherited.
5 And the border of the children of Ephrayim, according to their clans, was: The border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth Addar as far as Upper BÄyth įø¤oron.
6 And the border went out toward the sea, to Miįøµmethath on the north, then the border went around eastward to Ta'anath Shiloh, and passed over it on the east of Yanoįø„ah,
7 and went down from Yanoįø„ah to Ataroth and Na'arah, reached to Yeriįø„o, and came out at the YardÄn.
8 From Tappuaįø„ the border went westward to the wadi Qanah, and it ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephrayim for their clans.
9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephrayim were in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Menashsheh, all the cities with their villages.
10 And they did not drive out the Kena'anites who dwelt in Gezer, so the Kena'anites dwell among the Ephrayimites to this day and have become compulsory labour.
