1 Saiu, depois, a sorte dos filhos de José, desde o Jordão de Jericó às águas de Jericó, para o oriente, subindo ao deserto de Jericó pelas montanhas de Betel; 2 e de Betel sai a Luz, e passa ao termo dos arquitas até Atarote; 3 e desce da banda do ocidente ao termo de Jaflete, até ao termo de Bete-Horom de baixo e até Gezer, sendo as suas saídas para o mar. 4 Assim, alcançaram a sua herança os filhos de José, Manassés e Efraim.

5 E foi o termo dos filhos de Efraim, segundo as suas famílias, a saber, o termo da sua herança para o oriente era Atarote-Adar até Bete-Horom de cima; 6 e sai este termo para o ocidente junto a Micmetate, desde o norte, e torna este termo para o oriente a Taanate-Siló, e passa por ela desde o oriente a Janoa; 7 e desce, desde Janoa, a Atarote e a Naarate, e toca em Jericó, e vai sair ao Jordão. 8 De Tapua vai este termo para o ocidente ao ribeiro de Caná e as suas saídas no mar; esta é a herança da tribo dos filhos de Efraim, segundo as suas famílias. 9 E as cidades que se separaram para os filhos de Efraim estavam no meio da herança dos filhos de Manassés; todas aquelas cidades e as suas aldeias. 10 E não expeliram os cananeus que habitavam em Gezer; e os cananeus habitaram no meio dos efraimitas até ao dia de hoje; porém serviam-nos, sendo-lhes tributários.

1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho by the mount Beth–el,

2 And the boundary went out from Beth–el to Luz, and passed along unto the boundary of the Arkites to ‘Ataroth,

3 And went down westward to the boundary of the Yaphleti, unto the border of Beth–choron the lower, and to Gezer; and its terminations were toward the sea.

4 This did the children of Joseph, Menasseh and Ephraim, take as their inheritance.

5 And this was the boundary of the children of Ephraim according to their families; and the boundary of their inheritance on the east side was ‘Atroth–addar, up to Beth–choron the upper;

6 And the boundary went out toward the sea to Michmethath on the north; and the boundary fetched a compass eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanochah;

7 And it went down from Yanochah to ‘Ataroth, and to Na’arath, and touched on Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

8 From Tappuach westward the border went out unto the brook Kanah; and its terminations were toward the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim after their families;

9 And in addition to this the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Menasseh, all the cities with their villages.

10 And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among the Ephraimites until this day, and became tributary servants.
