| 1The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into 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. |
| 2Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites. | 2The southern border extended from Bethel to Luz, and crossed to Arkite territory at Ataroth. |
| 3Then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends 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 people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. | 4Joseph's descendants, Manasseh and Ephraim, were assigned their land. |
| 5The territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east 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. |
| 6and the boundary goes from there to the sea. On the north is Michmethath. Then on the east the boundary turns around toward Taanath-shiloh and passes along beyond it on the east to 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. |
| 7then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan. | 7It then descended from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and extended to the Jordan River. |
| 8From Tappuah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Ephraim by their clans, | 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 towns that were set apart for the people of Ephraim within the inheritance of the Manassites, all those towns with their villages. | 9Also included were the cities set apart for the tribe of Ephraim within Manasseh's territory, along with their towns. |
| 10However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have been made to do forced labor. | 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. |
