Joshua 16:5-9

5This is the territory for the families descended from Ephraim. The eastern border of the land they inherited is from Ataroth Addar to Upper Beth Horon.

6From there the border goes west, with Michmethath on the north. The border then turns east to Taanath Shiloh and passes east to Janoah.

7From Janoah it descends to Ataroth and Naarah, touches Jericho, and ends at the Jordan River.

8At Tappuah the border goes west along the Kanah River and ends at the Mediterranean Sea. This is the land given as an inheritance to the families of the tribe of Ephraim

9with all the cities and their villages selected for Ephraim in Manasseh’s territory.
