| 1And 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, | 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. |
| 2And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, | 2The southern border extended from Bethel to Luz, and crossed to Arkite territory at Ataroth. |
| 3And 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. | 3It then descended westward to Japhletite territory, as far as the territory of lower Beth Horon and Gezer, and ended at the sea. |
| 4So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. | 4Joseph's descendants, Manasseh and Ephraim, were assigned their land. |
| 5And 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; | 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 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; | 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. |
| 7And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. | 7It then descended from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and extended to the Jordan River. |
| 8The 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. | 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. |
| 9And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children 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. |
| 10And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute. | 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. |
