여호수아 16장 [RSV]

1. 1 The allotment of the descendants of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel;

2. 2 then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites;

3. 3 then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea.

4. 4 The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.

5. 5 The territory of the Ephraimites by their families was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon,

6. 6 and the boundary goes thence to the sea; on the north is Mich-methath; then on the east the boundary turns round toward Taanath-shiloh, and passes along beyond it on the east to Jan-oah,

7. 7 then it goes down from Jan-oah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan.

8. 8 From Tappuah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah, and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites by their families,

9. 9 together with the towns which were set apart for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites, all those towns with their villages.

10. 10 However they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have become slaves to do forced labor.
