1: And 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, |
|
2: And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders
of Archi to Ataroth, |
|
3:
And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of
Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
|
|
4: So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their
inheritance. |
|
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-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper; |
|
6: And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north
side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it
on the east to Janohah; |
|
7: And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to
Jericho, and went out at Jordan. |
|
8: The 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. |
|
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.
|
|
10: And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the
Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute. |
