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.
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;
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.
fra Betel fortsætter den videre til Arkiternes Landemærke, til Atarot,
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.
og strækker sig nedad mod Vest til Ja Detiternes Landemærke, til Nedre Bet Horons Landemærke og til Gezer og ender ved Havet.
4 That is the land that the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were allotted.
Og Josefs Sønner, Manasse og Efraim, fik Arvelodder.
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
Efraimiternes Landemærke efter deres Slægter var følgende: Grænsen for deres Arvelod er mod Øst Atarot Addar og går til Øvre Bet Horon;
6 and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
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,
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].
strækker sig så fra Janoa ned til Atarot og Na'ara, støder op til Jeriko og ender ved Jordan.
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.
Fra Tappua går Grænsen mod Vest til Kanabækken og ender ved Havet. Det er Efraimiternes Stammes Arvelod efter deres Slægter.
9 Many of those towns were really within the area allotted to the tribe of Manasseh.
Dertil kommer de Byer, som udskiltes til Efraimiterne inden for Manassiternes Arvelod, alle Byerne med Landsbyer.
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.
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.
