Joshua 16

1 And the lot fell to the children of Ioseph from Iorden by Iericho vnto the water of Iericho Eastward, and to the wildernes that goeth vp from Iericho by the mount Beth-el:

約瑟的子孫拈鬮所得之地是從靠近耶利哥的約旦河起，以耶利哥東邊的水為界：從耶利哥上去，通過山地的曠野，到伯特利；

2 And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and runneth along vnto the borders of Archiataroth,

又從伯特利到路斯，接連到亞基人的境界，至亞他綠；

3 And goeth down Westward to the coast of Iaphleti, vnto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the endes thereof are at the Sea.

又往西下到押利提人的境界，到下伯‧和崙的境界，直到基色，通到海為止。

4 So the children of Ioseph, Manasseh and Ephraim tooke their inheritance.

約瑟的兒子瑪拿西、以法蓮就得了他們的地業。

5 Also the borders of the children of Ephraim according to their families, euen the borders of their inheritance on the Eastside were Atroth-addar, vnto Beth-horon the vpper.

以法蓮子孫的境界，按着宗族所得的，記在下面：他們地業的東界是亞他綠‧亞達到上伯‧和崙；

6 And this border goeth out to the Sea vnto Michmethah on the Northside, and this border returneth Eastward vnto Taanathshiloh, and passeth it on the Eastside vnto Ianohah,

往西通到北邊的密米他，又向東繞到他納‧示羅，又接連到雅挪哈的東邊；

7 And goeth downe from Ianohah to Ataroth, and Naarath, and commeth to Iericho, and goeth out at Iorden.

從雅挪哈下到亞他綠，又到拿拉，達到耶利哥，通到約旦河為止；

8 And this border goeth from Tappuah Westward vnto the riuer Kanah, and the endes thereof are at the Sea: this is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

從他普亞往西，到加拿河，直通到海為止。這就是以法蓮支派按着宗族所得的地業。

9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh: all the cities with their villages.

另外在瑪拿西人地業中得了些城邑和屬城的村莊。這都是分給以法蓮子孫的。

10 And they cast not out the Canaanite that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanite dwelt among the Ephraimites vnto this day, and serued vnder tribute.

他們沒有趕出住基色的迦南人；迦南人卻住在以法蓮人中間，成為做苦工的僕人，直到今日。
