Joshua 16
1 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.
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;
2 And it went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,
fra Betel fortsætter den videre til Arkiternes Landemærke, til Atarot,
3 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.
og strækker sig nedad mod Vest til Jafletiternes Landemærke, til Nedre-Bet-Horons Landemærke og til Gezer og ender ved Havet.
4 And the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Og Josefs Sønner, Manasse og Efraim, fik Arvelodder.
5 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,
Efraimiternes Landemærke efter deres Slægter var følgende: Grænsen for deres Arvelod er mod Øst Atarot-Addar og gaar til Øvre-Bet-Horon;
6 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,
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,
7 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
strækker sig saa fra Janoa ned til Atarot og Na'ara, støder op til Jeriko og ender ved Jordan.
8 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,
Fra Tappua gaar Grænsen mod Vest til Kanabækken og ender ved Havet. Det er Efraimiternes Stammes Arvelod efter deres Slægter.
9 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.
Dertil kommer de Byer, som udskiltes til Efraimiterne inden for Manassiternes Arvelod, alle Byerne med Landsbyer.
10 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.
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.
