“1 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, 2 And goeth out from Bethel to
Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 3 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. 4 So
the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.”
“5 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; 6 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; 7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and
came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 8 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. 9 And the separate cities for the children of
Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all
the cities with their villages. 10 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.” (Joshua 16:1-10 AV)
