Joshua Chapter 16 (NKJV Bible)
1 The lot fell to the children of Joseph from the Jordan, by Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the [1†]wilderness that goes up from Jericho through the mountains to Bethel,
2 then went out from [2†]Bethel to Luz, passed along to the border of the Archites at Ataroth,
3 and went down westward to the boundary of the Japhletites, [3†]as far as the boundary of Lower Beth Horon to [4†]Gezer; and it ended at the sea.
4 [5†]So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 [6†]The border of the children of Ephraim, according to their families, was thus: The border of their inheritance on the east side was [7†]Ataroth Addar [8†]as far as Upper Beth Horon.
6 And the border went out toward the sea on the north side of [9†]Michmethath; then the border went around eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed by it on the east of Janohah.
7 Then it went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarah, reached to Jericho, and came out at the Jordan.
8 The border went out from [10†]Tappuah westward to the [11†]Brook Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families.
9 [12†]The separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 [13†]And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day and have become forced laborers.
