Joshua 16

1And 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.

1And the lot for the sons of Joseph goeth out from Jordan <FI>by<Fi> Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of Beth-El,

1And the limit of the land marked out for the children of Joseph went out from Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, in the waste land, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;

2And [the border] went from Bethel to Luz, and passed to the border of the Archites to Ataroth,

2and hath gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over unto the border of Archi <FI>to<Fi> Ataroth,

2And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;

3and 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.

3and gone down westward unto the border of Japhleti, unto the border of Beth-Horon the lower, and unto Gezer, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

3And it goes down to the west to the limit of the Japhletites, to the limit of Beth-horon the lower, as far as Gezer; ending at the sea.

4And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

4And the sons of Joseph--Manasseh and Ephraim--inherit.

4And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their heritage.

5And 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;

5And the border of the sons of Ephraim is by their families; and the border of their inheritance is on the east, Atroth-Addar unto Beth-Horon the upper;

5And the limit of the land of the children of Ephraim by their families was marked out in this way: the limit of their heritage to the east was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the higher;

6and 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,

6and the border hath gone out at the sea, to Michmethah on the north, and the border hath gone round eastward <FI>to<Fi> Taanath-Shiloh, and passed over it eastward to Janohah,

6The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;

7and went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarath, and touched upon Jericho, and went out to the Jordan.

7and gone down from Janohah <FI>to<Fi> Ataroth, and to Naarath, and touched against Jericho, and gone out at the Jordan.

7And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.

8From 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,

8From Tappuah the border goeth westward unto the brook of Kanah, and its outgoings have been at the sea: this <FI>is<Fi> the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, for their families.

8From Tappuah the line goes on to the west to the river of Kanah; ending at the sea. This is the heritage of the children of Ephraim by their families;

9with 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.

9And the separate cities of the sons of Ephraim <FI>are<Fi> in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages;

9Together with the towns marked out for the children of Ephraim in the heritage of Manasseh, all the towns with their unwalled places.

10But 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.

10and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and is to tribute--a servant.

10And the Canaanites who were living in Gezer were not forced out; but the Canaanites have been living among Ephraim, to this day, as servants, doing forced work.
