Leningrad Codex, through the Open Scriptures Westminster Leningrad Codex. The written consonants are printed. A Masoretic reading is footnoted when it differs. No Dead Sea reading was substituted unless it was read from a fragment. The Greek, Syriac, and Latin versions are witnesses, not the default.

A dotted word is a harder one. Point at it, or tap it, for a short definition.

1The lot went out for the sons of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.

2It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along the border of the Archite, to Ataroth.

3It went down westward to the border of the Japhletite, as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon, and as far as Gezer, and its end was at the sea.

The written form is תצאתו, “its end,” singular. The Masoretic reading is תצאתיו, “its ends.” The written singular is printed.

4The sons of Joseph received their inheritance, Manasseh and Ephraim.

5The border of the sons of Ephraim, by their clans, was this. The border of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar, as far as Upper Beth-horon.

6The border went out to the west, to Michmethath on the north. The border turned eastward to Taanath-shiloh and passed by it on the east of Janoah.

7It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

8From Tappuah the border went westward to the Wadi Kanah, and its ends were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, by their clans.

9The cities set apart for the sons of Ephraim were inside the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages.

10They did not drive out the Canaanite who lived in Gezer. The Canaanite has lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and he became a laborer under the levy.
