The boundary of their inheritance went from Ataroth Addar(A) in the east to Upper Beth Horon(B) and continued to the Mediterranean Sea. From Mikmethath(C) on the north it curved eastward to Taanath Shiloh, passing by it to Janoah(D) on the east. Then it went down from Janoah(E) to Ataroth(F) and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan. From Tappuah(G) the border went west to the Kanah Ravine(H) and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites, according to its clans. It also included all the towns and their villages that were set aside for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites.(I)
