Descendants of Ephraim
20 (A)The sons of Ephraim were Shuthelah and [a]Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eleadah his son, Tahath his son, 21 Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead, whom the men of Gath who were born in the land killed, because they came down to take their livestock. 22 Their father Ephraim (B)mourned for many days, and his relatives (C)came to comfort him. 23 Then he went in to his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him [b]Beriah, because misfortune had come upon his house. 24 His daughter was Sheerah, (D)who built lower and upper Beth-horon, as well as Uzzen-sheerah. 25 Rephah was his son along with Resheph, Telah his son, Tahan his son, 26 Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, 27 [c]Non his son, and (E)Joshua his son.
28 (F)Their possessions and dwelling places were Bethel with its towns, and to the east, [d]Naaran, and to the west, Gezer with its towns, and Shechem with its towns, as far as [e]Ayyah with its towns, 29 and along the borders of the sons of Manasseh, Beth-shean with its towns, Taanach with its towns, Megiddo with its towns, and Dor with its towns. In these regions lived the (G)sons of Joseph the son of Israel.
