Iosue 16
1 Cecidit quoque sors filiorum Ioseph ab Iordane contra Iericho et aquas eius ab Oriente: solitudo quae ascendit de Iericho ad montem Bethel:
The assignment of land for the tribe of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country of Bethel.
2 et egreditur de Bethel Luzam: transitque terminum Archi, Ataroth.
Then it went from Bethel to Luz and passed along to Ataroth, the territory of the Arkites.
3 et descendit ad Occidentem iuxta terminum Iephleti, usque ad terminos Beth horon inferioris, et Gazer: finiunturque regiones eius mari magno:
Then it went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth Horon, and then on to Gezer; it ended at the sea.
4 possederuntque filii Ioseph Manasses et Ephraim.
It was in this way that the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim received their inheritance.
5 Et factus est terminus filiorum Ephraim per cognationes suas: et possessio eorum contra Orientem Ataroth addar usque Beth horon superiorem.
The territory of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan: The border of their inheritance on the east went from Ataroth Addar as far as Upper Beth Horon,
6 Egrediunturque confinia in mare: Machmethath vero Aquilonem respicit, et circuit terminos contra Orientem in Thanathselo: et pertransit ab Oriente Ianoe.
and from there it continued to the sea. From Mikmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath Shiloh and passed beyond it on the east to Janoah.
7 descenditque de Ianoe in Ataroth et Naaratha: et pervenit in Iericho, egrediturque ad Iordanem.
Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and then reached Jericho, ending at the Jordan.
8 De Taphua pertransit contra mare in Vallem arundineti, suntque egressus eius in mare salsissimum. haec est possessio tribus filiorum Ephraim per familias suas.
From Tappuah the border went westward to the brook of Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim, clan by clan,
9 Urbesque separatae sunt filiis Ephraim in medio possessionis filiorum Manasse, et villae earum.
together with the cities that were chosen for the tribe of Ephraim within the inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh—all the cities, including their villages.
10 Et non interfecerunt filii Ephraim Chananaeum, qui habitabat in Gazer: habitavitque Chananaeus in medio Ephraim usque in diem hanc tributarius.
They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so that the Canaanites live within Ephraim to this day, but these people were made to do forced labor.
