Efrayim and Menasheh's portion

16:1 And the lot of Benai Yosef fell from Yarden by Yericho, unto the water of Yericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Yericho throughout mount Beit-EL,

16:2 And goeth out from Beit-EL to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

16:3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Yafleti, unto the coast of Beyt horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

16:4 So Benai Yosef, Menasheh and Efrayim, took their inheritance.

16:5 And the border of Benai Efrayim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarot-addar, unto Beit Horon the upper;

16:6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmetah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanat shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanohah;

16:7 And it went down from Yanohah to Atarot, and to Naarat, and came to Yericho, and went out at Yarden.

16:8 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 matteh (tribe) of Benai Efrayim by their families.

16:9 And the separate cities for Benai Efrayim [were] among the inheritance of Benai Menasheh, all the cities with their villages.

16:10 And they drave not out the Kenaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Kenaanites dwell among the Efrayimites yom hazeh (unto this day), and serve under tribute.
