< Joshua 16 >

1 The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.
For Josefs Sønner faldt Loddet saaledes: Mod Øst gaar Grænsen fra Jordan ved Jeriko, ved Jerikos Vande, op gennem Ørkenen, som fra Jeriko strækker sig op i Bjerglandet til Betel;
2 It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth;
fra Betel fortsætter den videre til Arkiternes Landemærke, til Atarot,
3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, and on to Gezer; and ended at the sea.
og strækker sig nedad mod Vest til Jafletiternes Landemærke, til Nedre-Bet-Horons Landemærke og til Gezer og ender ved Havet.
4 The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Og Josefs Sønner, Manasse og Efraim, fik Arvelodder.
5 This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper.
Efraimiternes Landemærke efter deres Slægter var følgende: Grænsen for deres Arvelod er mod Øst Atarot-Addar og gaar til Øvre-Bet-Horon;
6 The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.
derpaa gaar Grænsen ud til Havet. Mod Nord er Grænsen Mikmetat; Grænsen gaar saa mod Øst til Ta'anat-Sjilo, løber videre østen om Janoa,
7 It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
strækker sig saa fra Janoa ned til Atarot og Na'ara, støder op til Jeriko og ender ved Jordan.
8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
Fra Tappua gaar Grænsen mod Vest til Kanabækken og ender ved Havet. Det er Efraimiternes Stammes Arvelod efter deres Slægter.
9 together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the middle of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
Dertil kommer de Byer, som udskiltes til Efraimiterne inden for Manassiternes Arvelod, alle Byerne med Landsbyer.
10 They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the territory of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labour.
Men de fordrev ikke Kana'anæerne, som boede i Gezer, og saaledes er Kana'anæerne blevet boende midt i Efraim indtil den Dag i Dag, idet de siden blev Hoveriarbejdere.
