(KJV) Joshua 16¹

⥃Ephraim’s Inheritance

[1] And the lot of the children of Joseph fell² from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water³ of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Beth–el, [2] And goeth out from Beth–el⁴ to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi⁵ to Ataroth, [3] And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth–horon⁶ the nether, and to Gezer⁷: and the goings out thereof are at the sea⁸. [4] So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.⁹

[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 Ataroth–addar¹⁰, unto Beth–horon the upper; [6] And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah¹¹ on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath–shiloh¹², and passed by it on the east to Janohah¹³; [7] And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth¹⁴, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho¹⁵, and went out at Jordan. [8] The border went out from Tappuah¹⁶ westward unto the river Kanah¹⁷; and the goings out thereof were at the sea¹⁸. 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.¹⁹ [10] And they drave²⁰ not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell²¹ among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
