Joshua 16 (WEBP)

[1] The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.
[2] It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth;
[3] and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, and on to Gezer; and ended at the sea.
[4] The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
[5] This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper.
[6] The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.
[7] It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
[8] From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
[9] together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the middle of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
[10] They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the territory of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.

Joshua 16 (KJVS)

[1] And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Beth-el,
[2] and goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
[3] and goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
[4] So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
[5] And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;
[6] and the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
[7] and it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
[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 tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
[9] And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
[10] And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
