Genealogy of Ephraim

20 Ephraim’s descendants included Shuthelah, his son Bered, his son Tahath, his son Eleadah, his son Tahath, 21 his son Zabad, his son Shuthelah, his son Ezer, and Elead. The people of Gath, who were native to the land, killed them when[a] they came down to raid their cattle. 22 So their father Ephraim mourned many days, and his relatives came to comfort him. 23 Later, Ephraim had marital relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to a son, whom he named Beriah,[b] because his household had been visited with disaster.

24 His daughter Sheerah built both Lower and Upper Beth-horon, along with Uzzen-sheerah. 25 Rephah was also his descendant,[c] as were Resheph, Telah, Tahan, 26 Ladan, Ammihud, Elishama, 27 Nun, and Joshua. 28 Their possessions and settlements included Bethel and its towns,[d] Naaran to the east, Gezer and its towns to the west, Shechem and its towns as far as Ayyah and its towns 29 along the borders of the descendants of Manasseh, Beth-shean and its towns, Taanach and its towns, Megiddo and its towns, and Dor and its towns. In these lived the descendants of Israel’s son Joseph.
