The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth;

and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, and on to Gezer; and ended at the sea.

The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper.

The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.

It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;

together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the middle of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the territory of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.

وٱمتَدَّت حِصَّةُ بَني يوسُفَ مِن أُردُنِّ أَريحا إِلى مِياهِ أَريحا شَرقًا، إِلى البَرِّيَّةِ الصَّاعِدَةِ مِن أَريحا إِلى جَبَلِ بَيتَ إِيل

وهو يَنفُذُ مِن بَيتَ إِيلَ إِلى لوز، ويَمُرُّ إِلى حُدودِ الأَرَكِيِّين، إِلى عطاروت

ويَهبِطُ غَربًا إِلى حُدودِ اليَفْليطِيِّين، إِلى حُدودِ بَيتَ حورونَ السُّفْلى، وإِلى جازَرَ، ومَنافِذُه عِندَ البَحْر

فأَخَذَ ٱبْنا يوسُف، مَنَسَّى وأَفْرائيم، ميراثَهما

وكانَت أَرضُ بَني أَفْرائيمَ بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهم، فكانَت حُدودُ ميراثِهم شَرقًا عَطاروتَ أَدَّار إِلى بَيتَ حورونَ العُلْيا

وتَنفُذُ الحُدودُ غَربًا إِلى المِكْمَتاتِ مِنَ الشَّمال، وتَميلُ شَرقًا إِلى تأنَةَ شيلو، وتَمُرُّ فيها مِنَ الشَّرقِ إِلى يَنوح

وتَهبِطُ مِن يَنوحَ إِلى عَطاروتَ ونَعرَة، وتَنْتَهي إِلى أَريحا، وتَنفُذُ إِلى الأُردُنّ

وتَتَوَجَّهُ الحُدودُ مِن تَفُّوحَ غَربًا إِلى وادي قانَة، ومَنافِذُها عِندَ البَحْر. هٰذا ميراثُ سِبطِ بَني أَفرائيمَ بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهم

ما عَدا المُدُنَ المَخْصوصةَ بِبَني أَفْرائيم، في وَسَطِ ميراثِ بَني مَنَسَّى، جَميعَ المُدُنِ بِقُراها

ولم يَطرُدوا الكَنْعانِيِّينَ المُقيمينَ بِجازَر، فأَقامَ الكَنْعانِيُّونَ بَينَ أَفْرائيمَ إِلى هٰذا اليوم، وكانوا خاضِعينَ لِلسُّخْرة
