The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Lord YHWH says: “This will be the boundaries of the land that y’all are to divide for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph will have two portions.
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.
This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper.
The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since we are a numerous people, because YHWH has blessed us so far?”
They are to divide it into seven portions. Judah will live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph will live in their borders on the north.
