| 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 land allotted to Joseph's descendants extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho to the east, through the desert and on up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel. |
| 2It went from Bethel to Luz, and continued to the border of the Archites at Ataroth. | 2The southern border extended from Bethel to Luz, and crossed to Arkite territory at 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 Japhletite territory, as far as the territory of lower Beth Horon and Gezer, and ended at the sea. |
| 4The sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. | 4Joseph's descendants, Manasseh and Ephraim, were assigned their land. |
| 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. | 5The territory of the tribe of Ephraim by its clans included the following: The border of their assigned land to the east was Ataroth Addar as far as 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. | 6It then extended on to the sea, with Micmethath on the north. It turned eastward to Taanath Shiloh and crossed it on the east to Janoah. |
| 7It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan. | 7It then descended from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and extended to the Jordan River. |
| 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 it went westward to the Valley of Kanah and ended at the sea. This is the land assigned to the tribe of Ephraim by its clans. |
| 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. | 9Also included were the cities set apart for the tribe of Ephraim within Manasseh's territory, along with their towns. |
| 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. | 10The Ephraimites did not conquer the Canaanites living in Gezer. The Canaanites live among the Ephraimites to this very day and do hard labor as their servants. |
