Josua 16
1 Og Lodden udkom for Josefs Børn: Fra Jordanen ved Jeriko, ved Vandet fra Jeriko mod Østen, den Ørk, som gaar op fra Jeriko til Bjerget ved Bethel.
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;
2 Og Landemærket gaar videre fra Bethel til Lus og gaar igennem til Arkiternes Landemærke til Ataroth.
And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 Og det gaar ned mod Vest til Jaflethiternes Landemærke, indtil det nedre Beth-Horons Landemærke og indtil Geser, og dets Udgang er til Havet.
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.
4 Og dette arvede Josefs Børn, Manasse og Efraim.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.
5 Og Efraims Børns Landemærke efter deres Slægter, deres Arvs Landemærke var mod Østen, fra Ataroth-Addar indtil det øvre Beth-Horon.
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;
6 Og Landemærket gaar i Vesten ud fra Nordsiden af Mikmethath, og Landemærket gaar omkring i Øster til Thaanath-Silo, og det gaar forbi den, Østen for Janoa.
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;
7 Og det kommer ned fra Janoa til Ataroth og Naara og skyder op mod Jeriko og gaar ud til Jordan.
And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.
8 Fra Thappua gaar Landemærket i Vester til Bækken Kana; og dets Udgang er til Havet; dette er Efraims Børns Stammes Arv efter deres Slægter.
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;
9 Hertil kom de Stæder, som vare udlagte for Efraims Børn midt iblandt Manasse Børns Arv, alle Stæderne og deres Landsbyer.
Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.
10 Og de fordreve ikke Kananiten, som boede i Geser; men Kananiten boede iblandt Efraim indtil denne Dag og blev en skatskyldig Tjener.
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.
