And the lot came··out for the sons of Joseph from Jordan at Jericho , to the waters of Jericho toward the sunrise, to the wilderness going ··up from Jericho in the mountain of Bethel ,
2

3
and goes··down toward the sea to▵ the border of Japhleti, even··to the border of Beth-choron the lower, and even··to Gezer; and its outgoings are toward the sea .

5
And this was the border of the sons of Ephraim according··to▵ their families ; the border of their inheritance toward the sunrise was Ataroth-addar, even··to Beth-choron the higher◦;
6
and the border went··out toward the sea to Michmethah from the north , and the border turned ··around toward the sunrise to Taanath-shiloh, and crossed··over it from the sunrise toward Janoaḥ;
7
and it went··down from Janoaḥ to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and came··upon Jericho , and went··out to the Jordan .
8
From Tappuah the border went seaward to the Brook Kanah; and the goings out of it were toward the sea . This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families .
9
And the cities set apart for the sons of Ephraim were in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh , all the cities and their villages .
