| 1The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel. | 1The allotment for the descendants of Joseph went from the Jordan at Jericho to the Waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness ascending from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel. |
| 2Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites. | 2From Bethel it went to Luz and proceeded to the border of the Archites by Ataroth. |
| 3Then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea. | 3It then descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. |
| 4The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. | 4So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance. |
| 5The territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon, | 5This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar on the east to Upper Beth-horon. |
| 6and the boundary goes from there to the sea. On the north is Michmethath. Then on the east the boundary turns around toward Taanath-shiloh and passes along beyond it on the east to Janoah, | 6In the north the border went westward from Michmethath; it turned eastward from Taanath-shiloh and passed it east of Janoah. |
| 7then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan. | 7From Janoah it descended to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and went to the Jordan. |
| 8From Tappuah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Ephraim by their clans, | 8From Tappuah the border went westward along the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans, together with |
| 9together with the towns that were set apart for the people of Ephraim within the inheritance of the Manassites, all those towns with their villages. | 9the cities set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of the descendants of Manasseh--all these cities with their settlements. |
| 10However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have been made to do forced labor. | 10However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites still live in Ephraim today, but they are forced laborers. |
