The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.

It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.

Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.
4 To tiah Joseph ih caa, Manasseh hoi Ephraim hnik mah qawk to lak hoi.
So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
5 Ephraim acaeng imthung takoh boih mah hak ih prae loe, ni angyae bangah Ataroth-Addar vangpui hoi Beth-Horon vangpui aluek bang khoek to caeh poe;
This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon

and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.
7 Janoah vangpui hoi caeh tathuk moe, Ataroth, Naarath hoi Jeriko vangpui to phak pacoengah, Jordan vapui ah boeng.
From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,
9 Manasseh acaengnawk mah qawk ah toep o ih prae thungah loe, Ephraim acaeng imthung takoh boih hanah qawk ah paek ih vangpuinawk hoi vangtanawk to athum boih.
along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.
10 Gezer vangpui ah kaom Kanaan kaminawk loe haek o ai; to pongah Kanaan kaminawk loe vaihni ni khoek to Ephraim kaminawk salakah oh o, toe tamut a paek o.
But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.
