4 The ^asons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. 5 Now this was the territory of the sons of Ephraim according to their families: on the east side the border of their inheritance was ^aAtaroth-addar, as far as upper Beth-horon. 6 Then the border went westward at ^aMichmethath on the north, and turned eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah. 7 It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to ^aNaarah, touched Jericho and ended at the Jordan. 8 The border continued from ^aTappuah westward to the Brook Kanah, and it ended at the Mediterranean sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families (clans) , 9 with the cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim within the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 10 ^aBut they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so ^bthe Canaanites live among Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.
