From Michmethath [on the north] it extended east to Taanath and from there on to Janoah. From there it extended [south] to Ataroth [city] and to Naarah [town]. From there it extended to Jericho and from there to the Jordan [River].

10 Tsy rinoa’ iareo o nte-Kanàne nimoneñe e Gezereo, fa tambatse añivo’ o nte-Efraimeo pake henaneo o nte-Kanàneo mitoroñe aman-kàba.
The people of the tribe of Ephraim could not force the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer, so the Canaan people-group still live among the people of the tribe of Ephraim, but the Israelis forced the people of the Canaan people-group to become their slaves.
