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.
The assignment of land for the tribe of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country of Bethel.
2 Og Landemærket gaar videre fra Bethel til Lus og gaar igennem til Arkiternes Landemærke til Ataroth.
Then it went from Bethel to Luz and passed along to Ataroth, the territory of the Arkites.
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.
Then it went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth Horon, and then on to Gezer; it ended at the sea.
4 Og dette arvede Josefs Børn, Manasse og Efraim.
It was in this way that the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim received their inheritance.
5 Og Efraims Børns Landemærke efter deres Slægter, deres Arvs Landemærke var mod Østen, fra Ataroth-Addar indtil det øvre Beth-Horon.
The territory of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan: The border of their inheritance on the east went from Ataroth Addar as far as Upper Beth Horon,
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.
and from there it continued to the sea. From Mikmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath Shiloh and passed beyond it on the east to Janoah.
7 Og det kommer ned fra Janoa til Ataroth og Naara og skyder op mod Jeriko og gaar ud til Jordan.
Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and then reached Jericho, ending at the 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 border went westward to the brook of Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan,
9 Hertil kom de Stæder, som vare udlagte for Efraims Børn midt iblandt Manasse Børns Arv, alle Stæderne og deres Landsbyer.
together with the cities that were chosen for the tribe of Ephraim within the inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh—all the cities, including their villages.
10 Og de fordreve ikke Kananiten, som boede i Geser; men Kananiten boede iblandt Efraim indtil denne Dag og blev en skatskyldig Tjener.
They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so that the Canaanites live within Ephraim to this day, but these people were made to do forced labor.
