Read the Story

Joseph had two sons. They were Manasseh and Ephraim. Each son's family became a tribe.

Their land came by lot. It went from the Jordan River near Jericho. It went up through the hills to Bethel.

Ephraim's land went all the way to the sea. But Ephraim did not drive out the people in the city of Gezer. Those people stayed and worked for Ephraim.
