20 The sons of Efrayim: Shutelach, and Bered his son, and Tachat his son, and El'adah his son, and Tachat his son,

21 and Zavad his son, and Shutelach his son, and Etzer, and El'ad, whom the men of Gat who were born in the land killed, because they came down to take away their cattle.

22 Efrayim their father mourned many days, and his brothers came to comfort him.

23 He went in to his wife, and she conceived, and bore a son, and he named him Beri`ah, because it went evil with his house.

24 His daughter was She'erah, who built Beit-Horon the lower and the upper, and Uzzen-She'erah.

25 Refach was his son, and Reshef, and Telach his son, and Tachan his son,

26 La`dan his son, `Ammihud his son, Elishama his son,

27 Nun his son, Yehoshua his son.

28 Their possessions and habitations were Beit-El and the towns of it, and eastward Naaran, and westward Gezer, with the towns of it; Shekhem also and the towns of it, to Azzah and the towns of it;

29 and by the borders of the children of Menashsheh, Beit-She'an and its towns, Ta`nakh and its towns, Megiddo and its towns, Dor and its towns. In these lived the children of Yosef the son of Yisra'el.
