1As terras distribuídas aos descendentes de José iam desde o Jordão, perto de Jericó, a leste das águas de Jericó, e daí subiam pelo deserto até a serra que vai de Jericó a Betel.2De Betel, que é Luz*, iam para o território dos arquitas, em Atarote,3desciam para o oeste até o território dos jafletitas, chegando à região de Bete-Horom Baixa, e prosseguiam até Gezer, terminando no mar.4Assim os descendentes de Manassés e Efraim, filhos de José, receberam a sua herança.
A Herança de Efraim
5Este era o território de Efraim, clã por clã: A fronteira da sua herança ia de Atarote-Adar, a leste, até Bete-Horom Alta6e prosseguia até o mar. De Micmetá, ao norte, fazia uma curva para o leste até Taanate-Siló e, passando por ela, ia até Janoa, a leste.7Depois descia de Janoa para Atarote e Naarate, encostava em Jericó e terminava no Jordão.8De Tapua a fronteira seguia rumo oeste até o ribeiro de Caná e terminava no mar. Essa foi a herança da tribo dos efraimitas, clã por clã,9que incluía todas as cidades com os seus povoados, separadas para os efraimitas na herança dos manassitas.10Os cananeus de Gezer não foram expulsos, e até hoje vivem no meio do povo de Efraim, mas são sujeitos a trabalhos forçados.
English Standard Version
The Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh
1The 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.2Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites.3Then 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.4The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.5The 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,6and 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,7then it goes down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan.8From 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,9together with the towns that were set apart for the people of Ephraim within the inheritance of the Manassites, all those towns with their villages.10However, 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.
