1 And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;2 And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;3 And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.5 And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;6 The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;7 And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.8 From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;9 Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.10 And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.

1 Cecidit quoque sors filiorum Joseph ab Jordane contra Jericho et aquas ejus ab oriente : solitudo qu ascendit de Jericho ad montem Bethel : 2 et egreditur de Bethel Luza : transitque terminum Archi, Ataroth : 3 et descendit ad occidentem juxta terminum Jephleti, usque ad terminos Beth-horon inferioris, et Gazer : finiunturque regiones ejus mari magno : 4 possederuntque filii Joseph, Manasses et Ephraim.5 Et factus est terminus filiorum Ephraim per cognationes suas : et possessio eorum contra orientem Ataroth Addar usque Beth-horon superiorem. 6 Egrediunturque confinia in mare : Machmethath vero aquilonem respicit, et circuit terminos contra orientem in Thanathselo : et pertransit ab oriente Jano. 7 Descenditque de Jano in Ataroth et Naaratha : et pervenit in Jericho, egrediturque ad Jordanem. 8 De Taphua pertransit contra mare in vallem arundineti, suntque egressus ejus in mare salsissimum. Hc est possessio tribus filiorum Ephraim per familias suas. 9 Urbesque separat sunt filiis Ephraim in medio possessionis filiorum Manasse, et vill earum. 10 Et non interfecerunt filii Ephraim Chananum, qui habitabat in Gazer : habitavitque Chananus in medio Ephraim usque in diem hanc tributarius.
