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;
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 fra Betel fortsætter den videre til Arkiternes Landemærke, til Atarot,
Then it went from Bethel to Luz and passed along to Ataroth, the territory of the Arkites.
3 og strækker sig nedad mod Vest til Jafletiternes Landemærke, til Nedre-Bet-Horons Landemærke og til Gezer og ender ved 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 Josefs Sønner, Manasse og Efraim, fik Arvelodder.
It was in this way that the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim received their inheritance.
5 Efraimiternes Landemærke efter deres Slægter var følgende: Grænsen for deres Arvelod er mod Øst Atarot-Addar og gaar til Øvre-Bet-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 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,
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 strækker sig saa fra Janoa ned til Atarot og Na'ara, støder op til Jeriko og ender ved Jordan.
Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and then reached Jericho, ending at the 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 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 Dertil kommer de Byer, som udskiltes til Efraimiterne inden for Manassiternes Arvelod, alle Byerne med 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 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.
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.
