| 1The allotment for Joseph began at the Jordan, east of the springs of Jericho, and went up from there through the desert into the hill country of Bethel. | 1And 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, |
| 2It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz), crossed over to the territory of the Arkites in Ataroth, | 2And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, |
| 3descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the region of Lower Beth Horon and on to Gezer, ending at the Mediterranean Sea. | 3And 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. |
| 4So Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance. | 4So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. |
| 5This was the territory of Ephraim, according to its clans: The boundary of their inheritance went from Ataroth Addar in the east to Upper Beth Horon | 5And 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; |
| 6and continued to the Mediterranean Sea. From Mikmethath on the north it curved eastward to Taanath Shiloh, passing by it to Janoah on the east. | 6And 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; |
| 7Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan. | 7And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. |
| 8From Tappuah the border went west to the Kanah Ravine and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites, according to its clans. | 8The 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. |
| 9It also included all the towns and their villages that were set aside for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites. | 9And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. |
| 10They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor. | 10And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute. |
