Verse 3 is found in chapter 16 of Joshua. The inheritance of the descendants of Joseph begins with Ephraim and Manasseh. General boundaries are described across places of geographical and political importance. The allotment formula shows continuity with the procedure used for the other tribes. The land is presented as an inheritance received within an ordered tribal structure, rather than as territory acquired solely through individual military initiative.

und zieht sich hernieder abendwärts zu der Grenze des Japhletiters bis an die Grenze des niederen Beth-Horon und bis gen Geser; und das Ende ist am Meer.
Y torna a descender hacia la mar al término de Japhlet, hasta el término de Beth-oron la de abajo, y hasta Gezer; y sale a la mar.
Bajaba hacia el occidente, al territorio de los jafletitas, hasta el límite de Bet-horón de abajo y hasta Gezer, y terminaba en el mar.
Puis elle descendait à l'occident vers la frontière des Japhléthiens jusqu'à celle de Beth-Horon la basse et jusqu'à Guézer, pour aboutir à la mer.
poi scendeva verso Occidente, a’ confini de’ Giafletei, fino a’ confini di Bet-horon disotto, e fino a Ghezer; e faceva capo al mare.
E desce do lado do ocidente ao termo de Jafleti, até ao termo de Bete-Horom de baixo, e até Gezer, indo terminar no mar.
