1 As terras distribuídas aos descendentes de José iam desde o Jordão, perto de Jericó, a leste das águas de Jericó, e daí subiam pelo deserto até a serra que vai de Jericó a Betel.

2 De Betel, que é Luz, iam para o território dos arquitas, em Atarote,

3 desciam para o oeste, até o território dos jafletitas, chegando à região de Bete-Horom Baixa, e prosseguiam até Gezer, terminando no mar.

4 Assim os descendentes de Manassés e Efraim, filhos de José, receberam a sua herança.

5 Este era o território de Efraim, clã por clã: A fronteira da sua herança ia de Atarote-Adar, a leste, até Bete-Horom Alta,

6 e prosseguia até o mar. De Micmetá, ao norte, fazia uma curva para o leste, até Taanate-Siló, e, passando por ela, ia até Janoa, a leste.

7 Depois descia de Janoa para Atarote e Naarate, encostava em Jericó e terminava no Jordão.

8 De Tapua a fronteira seguia rumo oeste até o ribeiro de Caná e terminava no mar. Essa foi a herança da tribo dos efraimitas, clã por clã,

9 que incluía todas as cidades com os seus povoados, separadas para os efraimitas na herança dos manassitas.

10 Os cananeus de Gezer não foram expulsos, e até hoje vivem no meio do povo de Efraim, mas são sujeitos a trabalhos forçados.

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 Beth-el, 2 And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea. 4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

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 Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper; 6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah; 7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 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. 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. 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.
