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 Te phoeiah Janoah lamkah Ataroth neh Naarah la aka suntla te Jerikho a doo tih Jordan la pawk.

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,

along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.

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.
