Thus says the Lord GOD; This shall be the boundary, by which you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their open country for their cattle and for their belongings.
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 Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the upper;
And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, considering that the LORD has blessed me until now?
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall dwell in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall dwell in their territory on the north.
