Josua 16
1 For Josefs Sønner faldt Loddet saaledes: Mod Øst gaar Grænsen fra Jordan ved Jeriko, ved Jerikos Vande, op gennem Ørkenen, som fra Jeriko strækker sig op i Bjerglandet til Betel;
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 fra Betel fortsætter den videre til Arkiternes Landemærke, til Atarot,
And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 og strækker sig nedad mod Vest til Jafletiternes Landemærke, til Nedre-Bet-Horons Landemærke og til Gezer og ender ved 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 Josefs Sønner, Manasse og Efraim, fik Arvelodder.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.
5 Efraimiternes Landemærke efter deres Slægter var følgende: Grænsen for deres Arvelod er mod Øst Atarot-Addar og gaar til Øvre-Bet-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 derpaa gaar Grænsen ud til Havet. Mod Nord er Grænsen Mikmetat; Grænsen gaar saa mod Øst til Ta'anat-Sjilo, løber videre østen om 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 strækker sig saa fra Janoa ned til Atarot og Na'ara, støder op til Jeriko og ender ved Jordan.
And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.
8 Fra Tappua gaar Grænsen mod Vest til Kanabækken og ender ved Havet. Det er Efraimiternes Stammes Arvelod 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 Dertil kommer de Byer, som udskiltes til Efraimiterne inden for Manassiternes Arvelod, alle Byerne med 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 Men de fordrev ikke Kana'anæerne, som boede i Gezer, og saaledes er Kana'anæerne blevet boende midt i Efraim indtil den Dag i Dag, idet de siden blev Hoveriarbejdere.
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.
