1 The lot was drawn for Joseph. The border of Joseph’s territory goes from the Jordan River at Jericho to the springs of Jericho on the east, through the desert that goes up from Jericho, and through the mountains to Bethel.
2 From Bethel the border goes to Luz and over to Ataroth at the border of the Archites.
3 Then it descends west to the border of Japhlet and Lower Beth Horon, on to Gezer, and ends at the Mediterranean Sea.
4 So Joseph’s sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, received this land as their inheritance.
5 This is the territory for the families descended from Ephraim. The eastern border of the land they inherited is from Ataroth Addar to Upper Beth Horon.
6 From there the border goes west, with Michmethath on the north. The border then turns east to Taanath Shiloh and passes east to Janoah.
7 From Janoah it descends to Ataroth and Naarah, touches Jericho, and ends at the Jordan River.
