Iosue 16

1 cecidit quoque sors filiorum Ioseph ab Iordane contra Hiericho et aquas eius ab oriente solitudo quae ascendit de Hiericho ad montana Bethel

The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.

2 et egreditur de Bethel Luzam transitque terminum Archiatharoth

It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.

3 et descendit ad occidentem iuxta terminum Ieflethi usque ad terminos Bethoron inferioris et Gazer finiunturque regiones eius mari Magno

Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.

4 possederuntque filii Ioseph Manasse et Ephraim

So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.

5 et factus est terminus filiorum Ephraim per cognationes suas et possessio eorum contra orientem Atharothaddar usque Bethoron superiorem

This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon

6 egrediunturque confinia in mare Machmethath vero aquilonem respicit et circuit terminus contra orientem in Thanathselo et pertransit ab oriente Ianoe

and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.

7 descenditque de Ianoe in Atharoth et Noaratha et pervenit in Hiericho et egreditur ad Iordanem

From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

8 de Taffua pertransitque contra mare in valle Harundineti suntque egressus eius in mare Salsissimum haec est possessio tribus filiorum Ephraim per familias suas

From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,

9 urbesque quae separatae sunt filiis Ephraim in medio possessionis filiorum Manasse et villae earum

along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.

10 et non interfecerunt filii Ephraim Chananeum qui habitabat in Gazer habitavitque Chananeus in medio Ephraim usque in diem hanc tributarius

But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.
