16:1 And the borders of the children of
Joseph were from Jordan by Jericho eastward; and they will go up from
Jericho to the hill country, to the wilderness, to Baethel Luza.
16:2 And they will go out to Baethel, and will proceed to the borders of
Achatarothi.
16:3 And they will go across to the sea to the borders of Aptalim, as far as
the borders of Baethoron the lower, and the going forth of them shall be to
the sea.
16:4 And the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasse, took their inheritance.
16:5 And the borders of the children of Ephraim were according to their
families, and the borders of their inheritance were eastward to Ataroth, and
Eroc as far as Baethoron the upper, and Gazara.
16:6 And the borders will proceed to the sea to Icasmon north of Therma;
they will go round eastward to Thenasa, and Selles, and will pass on
eastward to Janoca,
16:7 and to Macho, and Ataroth, and [these are] their villages; and they
will come to Jericho, and will issue at Jordan.
16:8 And the borders will proceed from Tapho to the sea to Chelcana; and
their termination will be at the sea; this [is] the inheritance of the tribe
of Ephraim according to their families.
16:9 And the cities separated to the sons of Ephraim [were] in the midst of
the inheritance of the sons of Manasse, all the cities and their villages.
16:10 And Ephraim did not destroy the Chananite who dwelt in Gazer; and the
Chananite dwelt in Ephraim until this day, until Pharao the king of Egypt
went up and took it, and burnt it with fire; and the Chananites, and
Pherezites, and the dwellers in Gaza they destroyed, and Pharao gave them
for a dowry to his daughter. |
16:1 And the lot of the children of Joseph
fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the
wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
16:2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of
Archi to Ataroth,
16:3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of
Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings out thereof are at the
sea.
16:4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their
inheritance.
16:5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families
was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was
Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
16:6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side;
and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on
the east to Janohah;
16:7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to
Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
16:8 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the
goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Ephraim by their families.
16:9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the
inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
16:10 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the
Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under
tribute. |
