Josua 16 | New International Reader’s Version

Land is given to Ephraim and Manasseh

1 The land given to the two tribes in the family line of Joseph began at the River Jordan. Their border started east of the springs of Jericho. It went up from there through the desert into the hill country of Bethel. 2 Bethel is also called Luz. From Bethel the border crossed over to Ataroth. That’s where the Arkites live. 3 Then it went west down to the territory of the Japhletites. It went all the way to the area of Lower Beth Horon. It went on to Gezer. The border came to an end at the Mediterranean Sea. 4 The tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim were from the family line of Joseph. So they received that land as their share. 5 Here is the territory given to the tribe of Ephraim, according to its family groups. The border of their share of land started at Ataroth Addar in the east. It went to Upper Beth Horon. 6 It continued towards the Mediterranean Sea. From Mikmethath on the north, it curved towards the east. It went to Taanath Shiloh. It passed by Taanath Shiloh to Janoah on the east. 7 Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah. It touched Jericho and came to an end at the River Jordan. 8 From Tappuah the border went west to the Kanah Valley. It came to an end at the Mediterranean Sea. That was the land given to the tribe of Ephraim. Each family group received its share. 9 The tribe of Ephraim was also given other towns and villages that were set apart for them. Those towns and villages were in the share of land given to the tribe of Manasseh. 10 The people of Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer. The Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim to this day. But they are forced to work hard for the people of Ephraim.

Nya Levande Bibeln
1 Josefs stammars (Efraims och halva Manasses stam) södra gräns sträckte sig från floden Jordan vid Jeriko genom öknen och bergsbygden till Betel. Från Betel gick den mot Lus och sedan till Atarot i arkiternas område. Därefter gick den västerut ner till jafletiternas område ända ner till Nedre Bet-Horons område, sedan till Gerer, och vidare ut mot Medelhavet. 5 Gränsen för Efraims stam började i öster vid Atrot-Addar. Därifrån gick den till Övre Bet-Horon och ut mot Medelhavet. Den norra gränsen började vid Medelhavet och sträckte sig österut förbi Mikmetat och fortsatte sedan förbi Taanat-Silo och Janoa. 7 Från Janoa gick den söderut till Atarot och Naara, träffade Jeriko och gick ut vid Jordan. 8 Den västra hälften av den norra gränsen gick från Tappua och följde Kanabäcken till Medelhavet. 9 Efraim fick också en del av de städer som låg inom det område som tillhörde Manasses stam. 10 Kananeerna, som bodde i Geser, blev aldrig bortdrivna, och därför bor de kvar bland folket än i dag och är dess slavar.
