The Family of Ephraim

^20 (A)The sons of Ephraim were Shuthelah, Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eladah his son, Tahath his son, ²¹ Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead. The men of Gath who were born in that land killed them because they came down to take away their cattle. ²² Then Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.

²³ And when he went in to his wife, she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name ^[a]Beriah, because tragedy had come upon his house. ²⁴ Now his daughter was Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper ^(B)Beth Horon and Uzzen Sheerah; ²⁵ and Rephah was his son, as well as Resheph, and Telah his son, Tahan his son, ²⁶ Laadan his son, Ammihud his son, ^(C)Elishama his son, ^27 [b]Nun his son, and ^(D)Joshua his son.

²⁸ Now their ^(E)possessions and dwelling places were Bethel and its towns: to the east ^[c]Naaran, to the west Gezer and its towns, and Shechem and its towns, as far as ^[d]Ayyah and its towns; ²⁹ and by the borders of the children of ^(F)Manasseh were Beth Shean and its towns, Taanach and its towns, ^(G)Megiddo and its towns, Dor and its towns. In these dwelt the children of Joseph, the son of Israel.
