Ephraim and Manasseh

16 The allotment for the descendants of Joseph starts from the Jordan of Jericho and from the waters of Jericho on the east and extends up through the wilderness, ascending from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel. Then it goes out from Bethel to Luz[a] and crosses over to the border of the Arkites at Ataroth. It descends westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth Horon and as far as Gezer, and it ends at the sea.
