1 And the lot came forth for the children of Joseph from the Jordan of Jericho as far as the waters of Jericho eastwards, to the wilderness which goes up from Jericho to the hill-country of Bethel.2 And {the border} went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,3 and went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, as far as the border of the lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer; and ended at the sea.4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.5 And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their families; the border of their inheritance eastwards was Ataroth-Addar as far as the upper Beth-horon;6 and the border went forth westwards to Micmethath on the north; and the border turned eastwards to Taanath-Shiloh, and passed by it eastwards to Janohah,7 and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.8 From Tappuah the border went westwards to the torrent Kanah, and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families,9 with the cities that were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities and their hamlets.10 But they did not dispossess the Canaanites that dwelt at Gezer; and the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and serve under tribute.

1 En die lot het uitgekom vir die kinders van Josef: van die Jordaan van J,rigo af, oostelik van die waters van J,rigo, na die woestyn wat van J,rigo af oploop in die gebergte, na Bet-el;2 verder loop dit van Bet-el af aan na Lus en loop oor na die grondgebied van die Arkiete, na Atarot;3 dan loop dit af in die weste na die grondgebied van die Jafletiete, tot by die gebied van Bet-Horon-Onder en tot by Geser, sodat dit doodloop by die see.4 So het dan die seuns van Josef, Manasse en Efraim, 'n erfdeel ontvang.5 En dit was die grondgebied van die kinders van Efraim volgens hulle geslagte -- die lyn van hulle erfdeel was, in die ooste: Atrot-Addar tot by Bet-Horon-Bo;6 dan loop die lyn aan na die see; in die noorde: M¡gmetat; dan swaai die lyn in oostelike rigting na T änat-Silo en loop oos daarvan oor na Janoag;7 en van Janoag loop dit af na Atarot en N harat en raak dan aan J,rigo en loop op die Jordaan uit.8 Van Tappuag af loop die lyn in westelike rigting na die spruit Kana; verder loop dit dood by die see. Dit is die erfdeel van die stam van die kinders van Efraim volgens hulle geslagte;9 en die stede wat vir die kinders van Efraim afgesonder was in die erfdeel van die kinders van Manasse, al die stede met hulle dorpe.10 Maar hulle het die Kana„niete, die inwoners van Geser, nie verdrywe nie; so het dan die Kanaäniete onder Efraim bly woon tot vandag toe; maar hulle moes dwangarbeid verrig.
