Joshua 16

1 The land that was allotted to [the two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh that were descended from] Joseph started at the Jordan [River], east of the springs at Jericho.

约瑟的子孙拈阄所得之地是从靠近耶利哥的约旦河起，以耶利哥东边的水为界：从耶利哥上去，通过山地的旷野，到伯特利；

2 It extended west from Jericho to the hilly area near Bethel, which is also called Luz. It extended as far as Ataroth, at the border of the land where the Arki people-group lived.

又从伯特利到路斯，接连到亚基人的境界，至亚他绿；

3 From there it extended west to the border of the land where the Japhleti people-group lived, and then it extended west to the area near Lower Beth-Horon. From there it extended west to Gezer [city] and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.

又往西下到押利提人的境界，到下伯·和 的境界，直到基色，通到海为止。

4 That is the land that the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were allotted.

约瑟的儿子玛拿西、以法莲就得了他们的地业。

5 The border of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Ephraim started at Ataroth-Addar [city] in the east. It extended to Upper Beth-Horon

以法莲子孙的境界，按着宗族所得的，记在下面：他们地业的东界是亚他绿·亚达到上伯·和 ；

6 and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.

往西通到北边的密米他，又向东绕到他纳·示罗，又接连到雅挪哈的东边；

7 From Michmethath [on the north] it extended east to Taanath and from there on to Janoah. From there it extended [south] to Ataroth [city] and to Naarah [town]. From there it extended to Jericho and from there to the Jordan [River].

从雅挪哈下到亚他绿，又到拿拉，达到耶利哥，通到约旦河为止；

8 The [northern] border extended from Tappuah west to Kanah Ravine, and ended at the [Mediterranean] Sea. That was the land that was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim.

从他普亚往西，到加拿河，直通到海为止。这就是以法莲支派按着宗族所得的地业。

9 Many of those towns were really within the area allotted to the tribe of Manasseh.

另外在玛拿西人地业中得了些城邑和属城的村庄。这都是分给以法莲子孙的。

10 The people of the tribe of Ephraim could not force the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer, so the Canaan people-group still live among the people of the tribe of Ephraim, but the Israelis forced the people of the Canaan people-group to become their slaves.

他们没有赶出住基色的迦南人；迦南人却住在以法莲人中间，成为做苦工的仆人，直到今日。
