Joshua 16:1-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel.

2. Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites.

3. Then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea.

4. The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.

5. The territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon,

6. and the boundary goes from there to the sea. On the north is Michmethath. Then on the east the boundary turns around toward Taanath-shiloh and passes along beyond it on the east to Janoah,

7. then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan.
