Josua 16
1 For Josefs Sønner faldt Loddet således: Mod Øst går Grænsen fra Jordan ved Jeriko, ved Jerikos Vande, op gennem Ørkenen, som fra Jeriko strækker sig op i Bjergland, et til Betel;
And the lot came out for the sons 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.
2 fra Betel fortsætter den videre til Arkiternes Landemærke, til Atarot,
And it went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,
3 og strækker sig nedad mod Vest til Ja Detiternes Landemærke, til Nedre Bet Horons Landemærke og til Gezer og ender ved Havet.
and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, even to Gezer. And the goings out of it were at the sea.
4 Og Josefs Sønner, Manasse og Efraim, fik Arvelodder.
And the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 Efraimiternes Landemærke efter deres Slægter var følgende: Grænsen for deres Arvelod er mod Øst Atarot Addar og går til Øvre Bet Horon;
And the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the upper,
6 derpå går Grænsen ud til Havet. Mod Nord er Grænsen Mikmetat; Grænsen går så mod Øst til Ta'anat Sjilo, løber videre østen om Janoa,
and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah,
7 strækker sig så fra Janoa ned til Atarot og Na'ara, støder op til Jeriko og ender ved Jordan.
and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 Fra Tappua går Grænsen mod Vest til Kanabækken og ender ved Havet. Det er Efraimiternes Stammes Arvelod efter deres Slægter.
From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah. And the goings out of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,
9 Dertil kommer de Byer, som udskiltes til Efraimiterne inden for Manassiternes Arvelod, alle Byerne med Landsbyer.
together with the cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 Men de fordrev ikke Kana'anæerne, som boede i Gezer, og således er Kana'anæerne blevet boende midt i Efraim indtil den Dag i Dag, idet de siden blev Hoveriarbejdere.
And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do task work.
