Ephraim and half-Manasseh's boundary — And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel. The allocation of Joseph's two tribes begins. Ephraim and half-Manasseh, receiving western land (the other half-Manasseh received Transjordan), have their boundary traced from the Jordan near Jericho through the wilderness toward Mount Bethel. The Jordan connection emphasizes continuity with the Transjordan settlements.
