|
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 Beth-el,
|
1 The allotment for Joseph began at the Jordan of Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, and went up from there through the desert into the hill country of Bethel.
|
|
2 And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
|
2 It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz), crossed over to the territory of the Arkites in Ataroth,
|
|
3 And goeth down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the limits of it are at the sea.
|
3 descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the region of Lower Beth Horon and on to Gezer, ending at the sea.
|
|
4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
|
4 So Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance.
|
|
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 Ataroth-adar, to Beth-horon the upper:
|
5 This was the territory of Ephraim, clan by clan: The boundary of their inheritance went from Ataroth Addar in the east to Upper Beth Horon
|
|
6 And the border went out towards the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
|
6 and continued to the sea. From Micmethath on the north it curved eastward to Taanath Shiloh, passing by it to Janoah on the east.
|
|
7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and terminated at Jordan.
|
7 Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
|
|
8 The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the limits of it were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
|
8 From Tappuah the border went west to the Kanah Ravine and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites, clan by clan.
|
|
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.
|
9 It also included all the towns and their villages that were set aside for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites.
|
|
10 And they did not expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
|
10 They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.
