1Then the lot for the sons of Joseph went from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through 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.
2It went from Bethel to Luz, and continued to the border of the Archites at Ataroth.2From Bethel it went to Luz and proceeded to the border of the Archites by Ataroth.
3It went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of lower Beth-horon even to Gezer, and it ended 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 sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.4So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
5Now this was the territory of the sons of Ephraim according to their families: the border of their inheritance eastward 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.
6Then the border went westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah.6In the north the border went westward from Michmethath; it turned eastward from Taanath-shiloh and passed it east of Janoah.
7It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.7From Janoah it descended to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and went to the Jordan.
8From Tappuah the border continued westward to the brook of Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,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 cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities 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.
10But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.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.
