and then on to the sea. From Michmethath in the north the boundary turned east passing Taanath-shiloh to the east of Janoah.
7 Mpe lisusu ekitaki longwa na Yanoa kino na Ataroti mpe na Naarata, etutanaki na Jeriko mpe ekendeki kobima kino na Yordani.
From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, then touched Jericho and ended at the Jordan.

From Tappuah the boundary ran west to the Brook of Kanah and then out to the sea. This was the land allotted to the tribe of Ephraim, by families.
9 Ebakisamaki mpe bingumba nyonso elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike oyo epesamelaki bato ya libota ya Efrayimi kati na libula ya bato ya libota ya Manase.
Also some towns with their associated villages that lay in the land allotted to the tribe of Manasseh were assigned to the tribe of Ephraim.
10 Kasi babenganaki te bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda na Gezeri. Yango wana, bato ya Kanana bazali kovanda kati na bato ya Efrayimi kino na mokolo ya lelo. Kasi bakomaki kosalisa bango misala makasi oyo ekoki na bawumbu.
However, they did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites live among the tribe of Ephraim to this very day, but as forced laborers.
