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.
