Joshua 16
1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount 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 goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
fra Betel fortsætter den videre til Arkiternes Landemærke, til Atarot,
3 And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Bethhoron the lower, and to Gezer: and the ends of it are 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 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Og Josefs Sønner, Manasse og Efraim, fik Arvelodder.
5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron 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 toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
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 Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and came out at Jordan.
strækker sig saa fra Janoa ned til Atarot og Na'ara, støder op til Jeriko og ender ved Jordan.
8 The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the ends of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
Fra Tappua gaar Grænsen mod Vest til Kanabækken og ender ved Havet. Det er Efraimiternes Stammes Arvelod efter deres Slægter.
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.
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 that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve at forced labour.
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.
