Descendants of Ephraim

20 The (A)sons of Ephraim: Shuthelah, and 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 raid their livestock. 22 And Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brothers came to comfort him. 23 And Ephraim went in to his wife, and she conceived and bore a son. And he called his name Beriah, because disaster had befallen his house.[a] 24 His daughter was Sheerah, who built both Lower and Upper (B)Beth-horon, and Uzzen-sheerah. 25 Rephah was his son, Resheph his son, Telah his son, Tahan his son, 26 Ladan his son, Ammihud his son, (C)Elishama his son, 27 Nun[b] his son, (D)Joshua his son. 28 (E)Their possessions and settlements were Bethel and its towns, and to the east Naaran, and to the west (F)Gezer and its towns, Shechem and its towns, and Ayyah and its towns; 29 (G)also in possession of the Manassites, (H)Beth-shean and its towns, Taanach and its towns, Megiddo and its towns, Dor and its towns. In these lived the sons of Joseph the son of Israel.
