1Limite sul comum às tribos dos filhos de José: Este limite estendia-se desde o rio Jordão em Jericó, passando pelo deserto e pela zona das colinas até Betel.2Depois continuava por Luz, indo até Atarote, no território dos arquitas.3Infletia depois para ocidente, para o território dos jafletitas, até Bete-Horom de Baixo, e depois até Gezer, e nesse sentido até ao mar Mediterrâneo.4Foi aqui que alcançaram a sua herança os filhos de José, Manassés e Efraim.5A terra dada à tribo de Efraim tinha como limite leste Atarote-Adar. Dali alongava-se até Bete-Horom de Cima6e ia até ao mar Mediterrâneo. O limite norte começava no mar e seguia em direção ao oriente, passando junto a Micmetá e continuando por Taanate-Silo e Janoa.7De Janoa descia para sul, para Atarote e Naará, tocava Jericó e acabava no rio Jordão.8A metade ocidental do limite norte ia desde Tapua, e depois ao longo do ribeiro de Caná, até ao Mediterrâneo.9Também foram dadas a Efraim algumas das cidades que estavam no território da meia tribo de Manassés.10Os cananeus que viviam em Gezer nunca foram expulsos, por isso, vivem ainda como escravos no meio do povo de Efraim.
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.
