Josué 16
1 E a porção dos filhos de José saiu desde o Jordão de Jericó até as águas de Jericó até o oriente, ao deserto que sobe de Jericó ao monte de Betel:
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.
2 E de Betel sai a Luz, e passa ao termo dos arquitas em Atarote;
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.
3 E torna a descer até o mar ao termo dos jafletitas, até o termo de Bete-Horom a de abaixo, e até Gezer; e sai ao mar.
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.
4 Receberam, pois, herança os filhos de José, Manassés e Efraim.
That is the land that the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were allotted.
5 E foi o termo dos filhos de Efraim por suas famílias, foi o termo de sua herança à parte oriental, desde Atarote-Adar até Bete-Horom a de acima:
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
6 E sai este termo ao mar, e a Micmetá ao norte, e dá volta este termo até o oriente a Taanate-Siló, e daqui passa ao oriente a Janoa:
and from there to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
7 E de Janoa desce a Atarote, e a Naarate, e cabe em Jericó, e sai ao Jordão.
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].
8 E de Tapua torna este termo até o mar ao ribeiro de Caná, e sai ao mar. Esta é a herança da tribo dos filhos de Efraim por suas famílias.
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.
9 houve também cidades que se apartaram para os filhos de Efraim em meio da herança dos filhos de Manassés, todas cidades com suas aldeias.
Many of those towns were really within the area allotted to the tribe of Manasseh.
10 E não expulsaram aos cananeus que habitavam em Gezer; antes restaram os cananeus em meio de Efraim, até hoje, e foram tributários.
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.
