Land Is Given to Ephraim and Manasseh
1The land given to the two tribes in the family line of Joseph began at the Jordan River. Their border started east of the springs of Jericho. It went up from there through the desert into the hill country of Bethel. 2Bethel is also called Luz. From Bethel the border crossed over to Ataroth. That’s where the Arkites live. 3Then 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.
4The tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim were from the family line of Joseph. So they received that land as their share.
5Here 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. 6It continued toward the Mediterranean Sea. From Mikmethath on the north, it curved toward the east. It went to Taanath Shiloh. It passed by Taanath Shiloh to Janoah on the east. 7Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah. It touched Jericho and came to an end at the Jordan River. 8From 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.
9The 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.
10The 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.
约瑟子孙分到的土地
1约瑟的子孙抽签所得的地方是从耶利哥附近的约旦河，就是耶利哥水泉的东面开始，穿过旷野，直到伯特利山区； 2又从伯特利，即路斯，沿着亚基人的边境，直到亚他绿， 3然后西下至押利提人的疆土，远至伯·和仑地区，经基色直到地中海。 4约瑟的儿子玛拿西和以法莲得了自己的产业。
5以下是以法莲的子孙按宗族分到的土地：东面从亚他绿·亚达到上伯·和仑、 6地中海，又向北至密米他，然后向东绕到他纳·示罗，到雅挪哈东部， 7再到亚他绿、拿拉，经耶利哥直到约旦河； 8又从他普亚往西到加拿河，直到地中海。这就是以法莲的子孙按宗族所分的产业。 9此外，他们又从玛拿西人的产业中，分到部分城邑以及附近的乡村。 10他们没有赶走住在基色的迦南人，迦南人至今还住在以法莲人当中，为他们服劳役。
