⁵ And this was the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families; this was the border of their inheritance on the east side from Atarothaddar unto Bethhoron the upper;

⁶ and this border comes out to the sea and to Michmethah on the north side; and this border goes around eastward unto Taanathshiloh and from here passes on the east to Janohah;

⁷ and from Janohah it goes down to Ataroth and to Naarath, and touches in Jericho and comes out at the Jordan.

⁸ And from Tappuah this border turns towards the [westward] sea at the river Kanah and comes out at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim by their families.

⁹ [There were also] cities separated for the sons of Ephraim among the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
