1 And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards, to the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country of Bethel.

2 And {the border} went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,

3 and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, as far as the border of the lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer; and ended at the sea.

4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their families; the border of their inheritance eastwards was Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon;

6 and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the north; and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh, and passed by it eastwards to Janohah,

7 and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.

8 From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families,

9 with the cities that were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities and their hamlets.

10 But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at Gezer; and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and serve under tribute.

1 约瑟的子孙抽签所得的地业， 是从靠近耶利哥的约旦河起， 到耶利哥东边的水泉， 经过从耶利哥上去的旷野， 进到在山地的伯特利；

2 又从伯特利到路斯， 经过亚基人的境界亚他绿，

3 又向西下到押利提人的境界， 去到下伯．和仑和基色的境界， 直通到海。

4 约瑟的儿子玛拿西和以法莲， 也得了他们的产业。

5 以下是以法莲人按着家族所得的境界： 他们的产业在东方的疆界， 是亚他绿．亚达， 直到上伯．和仑。

6 向西伸展到北面的密米他， 又向东绕到他纳．示罗， 经过雅挪哈的东边；

7 从雅挪哈下到亚他绿， 又到拿拉， 和耶利哥接壤， 伸展到约旦河；

8 又从他普亚向西行， 到加拿河， 直通到海； 这就是以法莲支派按着家族所得的产业。

9 此外在玛拿西人的产业中， 还有些城镇分给以法莲人的， 这些城镇都包括属于它们的村庄在内。

10 可是他们没有把住在基色的迦南人赶走， 于是迦南人住在以法莲中间， 直到今日， 成了作苦工的奴仆。
