Josefs efterkommere

1 Ved lodtrækning fik Josefs efterkommere jord i et område, hvis sydgrænse startede ved Jordanfloden ud for Jeriko og gik videre op i højlandet til Betel (også kaldet Luz) og dernæst videre gennem arkitternes land til Atarot. 3 Derpå bøjede den mod sydvest til jafletitternes område og kom til Nedre Bet-Horon og videre til Gezer og derfra ud til Middelhavet. 4 De to stammer fra Josefs sønner, Efraim og Manasse, fik hver deres arvelod.

Efraims arvelod

5 Efraims klaners område gik fra Atarot-Addar mod øst til Øvre Bet-Horon mod vest, 6 og derfra gik grænsen ud til Middelhavet. Nordgrænsen gik gennem Mikmetat og videre østpå i en bue op til Ta’anat-Shilo og videre øst om Janoha. 7 Fra Janoha fortsatte den ned til Atarot og Na’ara øst om Jeriko for at ende ved Jordanfloden. 8 Fra Tappuach løb nordgrænsen vestpå langs med Kana-kløften til Middelhavet. 9 Efraim fik tillige nogle byer inden for Manasses territorium. 10 De kana’anæere, som boede i Gezer, blev imidlertid aldrig drevet ud, og derfor lever de den dag i dag som slaver blandt Efraims folk.

The Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh

1 The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel. 2 Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites. 3 Then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea. 4 The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. 5 The territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon, 6 and the boundary goes from there to the sea. On the north is Michmethath. Then on the east the boundary turns around toward Taanath-shiloh and passes along beyond it on the east to Janoah, 7 then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan. 8 From Tappuah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Ephraim by their clans, 9 together with the towns that were set apart for the people of Ephraim within the inheritance of the Manassites, all those towns with their villages. 10 However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have been made to do forced labor.
