Joshua 17:8-10
[ Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh[ belonged] to the children of Ephraim;And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim[ are] among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also[ was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:Southward[ it was] Ephraim’s, and northward[ it was] Manasseh’s, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

Joshua 17:14-18
And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me[ but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I[ am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?And Joshua answered them, If thou[ be] a great people,[ then] get thee up to the wood[ country], and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron,[ both they] who[ are] of Bethshean and her towns, and[ they] who[ are] of the valley of Jezreel.And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph,[ even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou[ art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot[ only]:But the mountain shall be thine; for it[ is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots,[ and] though they[ be] strong.

Joshua 16:1-10
And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was[ thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This[ is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim[ were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
