يَشُوع 16

١ 1 وَخَرَجَتِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ لِبَنِي يُوسُفَ مِنْ أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا إِلَى مَاءِ أَرِيحَا نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلصَّاعِدَةِ مِنْ أَرِيحَا فِي جَبَلِ بَيْتِ إِيلَ.

And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;

٢ 2 وَخَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِيلَ إِلَى لُوزَ وَعَبَرَتْ إِلَى تُخْمِ ٱلْأَرَكِيِّينَ إِلَى عَطَارُوتَ،

And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;

٣ 3 وَنَزَلَتْ غَرْبًا إِلَى تُخْمِ ٱلْيَفْلَطِيِّينَ إِلَى تُخْمِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى، وَإِلَى جَازَرَ، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهَا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.

٤ 4 فَمَلَكَ ٱبْنَا يُوسُفَ مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمُ.

And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.

٥ 5 وَكَانَ تُخْمُ بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. وَكَانَ تُخْمُ نَصِيبِهِمْ شَرْقًا: عَطَارُوتَ أَدَّارَ إِلَى بَيْتِ حُورُونَ ٱلْعُلْيَا.

And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;

٦ 6 وَخَرَجَ ٱلتُّخْمُ نَحْوَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْمَكْمَتَةِ شِمَالًا، وَدَارَ ٱلتُّخْمُ شَرْقًا إِلَى تَآنَةِ شِيلُوهَ وَعَبَرَهَا شَرْقِيَّ يَنُوحَةَ.

The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;

٧ 7 وَنَزَلَ مِنْ يَنُوحَةَ إِلَى عَطَارُوتَ وَنَعَرَاتِ وَوَصَلَ إِلَى أَرِيحَا وَخَرَجَ إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ.

And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.

٨ 8 وَجَازَ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ تَفُّوحَ غَرْبًا إِلَى وَادِي قَانَةَ، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;

٩ 9 هَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ سِبْطِ بَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ مَعَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْمُفْرَزَةِ لِبَنِي أَفْرَايِمَ فِي وَسَطِ نَصِيبِ بَنِي مَنَسَّى. جَمِيعُ ٱلْمُدُنِ وَضِيَاعِهَا.

Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.

١٠ 10 فَلَمْ يَطْرُدُوا ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي جَازَرَ. فَسَكَنَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ فِي وَسَطِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَكَانُوا عَبِيدًا تَحْتَ ٱلْجِزْيَةِ.

And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.
