1 The land allotted to the Josephites had a frontier starting from the Jordan at Jericho, east of the Waters of Jericho, near the desert, extending from Jericho up through the highlands to Bethel, 2 then from Bethel to Luz, and along to Ataroth on the frontier of the Archites, 3 from which it came down west to the frontier of the Japhletites, the frontier of Lower Beth-horon and Gezer, ending at the sea. 4 Such was the property received by the Josephites, that is Manasseh and Ephraim, as their inheritance.
5 The territory of the Ephraimites, according to their clans, had a frontier to the east running from Ashtaroth to Upper Beth-horon. 6 westward the frontier ran to Michmethath on the north, then round east to Taanath-shiloh, and on to the east of Janoah, 7 down to Ataroth and Naarah, and as far as Jericho, ending at the Jordan, 8 westward the frontier ran from Tappuah to the Kanah Valley, ending at the sea. Such was the property inherited by the tribe of Ephraim, according to their clans, 9 together with the towns set aside for the Ephraimites in the territory of the Manassites, all these towns and their villages. 10 They did not evict the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. The Canaanites lived among the Ephraimites, as they do to this day, though they have had to slave for them.
