Joshua 17:8-10
The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea:southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to 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 part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me?And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill- country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.And the children of Joseph said, The hill- country 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 in Beth- shean and its towns, and they who are in 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 hill- country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.

Joshua 16:1-10
And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill- country to Beth- el;and it went out from Beth- el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth- horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea.And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth- addar, unto Beth- horon the upper;and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath- shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and are become servants to do taskwork.
