Deuteronomy 32:8

When the Most High God gave each nation its territory and separated all the peoples of the earth, he set the boundaries of the nations according to the number of the Israelites.

The land assigned by lot to Joseph's descendants stretched from the Jordan River near Jericho, to the waters east of Jericho, and up to the wilderness that rises from Jericho toward the hill country of Bethel.

The territory given to the tribe of Ephraim, divided among their family groups, had this boundary: on the eastern side, their inherited land stretched from Ataroth-addar to Upper Beth-horon.
