Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh
1The allotment for Joseph began at the Jordan, east of the springs of Jericho, and went up from there through the desert into the hill country of Bethel. 2It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz),16:2 Septuagint; Hebrew Bethel to Luz crossed over to the territory of the Arkites in Ataroth, 3descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the region of Lower Beth Horon and on to Gezer, ending at the Mediterranean Sea.
4So Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance.
5This was the territory of Ephraim, according to its clans:
The boundary of their inheritance went from Ataroth Addar in the east to Upper Beth Horon 6and continued to the Mediterranean Sea. From Mikmethath on the north it curved eastward to Taanath Shiloh, passing by it to Janoah on the east. 7Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan. 8From Tappuah the border went west to the Kanah Ravine and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites, according to its clans. 9It also included all the towns and their villages that were set aside for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites.
10They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.
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，延至亞基人的疆土亞他綠， 3然後西下至押利提人的疆土，遠至下伯·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：東面從亞他錄·亞達到上伯·和崙， 6直到地中海；北面從密米他向東繞到他納·示羅，到雅挪哈東部， 7再到亞他錄、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，分到部分城邑及其附近的鄉村。 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。
