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.

The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

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

It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border 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 went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, and on to Gezer; and ended at the sea.

٤ 4 فَمَلَكَ ٱبْنَا يُوسُفَ مَنَسَّى وَأَفْرَايِمُ.

The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

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

This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper.

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

The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.

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

It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

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

From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to 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 cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the middle of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

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

They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the territory of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.
