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.
約瑟子孫分到的土地
1約瑟的子孫抽籤所得的地方是從耶利哥附近的約旦河，就是耶利哥水泉的東面開始，穿過曠野，直到伯特利山區； 2又從伯特利，即路斯，沿著亞基人的邊境，直到亞他綠， 3然後西下至押利提人的疆土，遠至伯·和崙地區，經基色直到地中海。 4約瑟的兒子瑪拿西和以法蓮得了自己的產業。
5以下是以法蓮的子孫按宗族分到的土地：東面從亞他綠·亞達到上伯·和崙、 6地中海，又向北至密米他，然後向東繞到他納·示羅，到雅挪哈東部， 7再到亞他綠、拿拉，經耶利哥直到約旦河； 8又從他普亞往西到加拿河，直到地中海。這就是以法蓮的子孫按宗族所分的產業。 9此外，他們又從瑪拿西人的產業中，分到部分城邑以及附近的鄉村。 10他們沒有趕走住在基色的迦南人，迦南人至今還住在以法蓮人當中，為他們服勞役。
