Joshua 16

vayyetse haggoral livne yosef miyyarden yerikho leme yerikho mizrakhah hammidbar oleh mirikho bahar bet-el

The portion that fell by lot to the Josephites ran from the Jordan at Jericho—from the Waters of Jericho east of the wilderness. From Jericho it ascended through the hill country to Bethel.

veyatsa mibbet-el luzah ve'avar el-gevul ha'arki atarot

From Bethel it ran to Luz and passed on to the territory of the Archites at Ataroth,

veyarad-yammah el-gevul hayyafleti ad gevul bet-khoron takhton ve'ad-gazer vehayu totse'otav yammah

descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and Gezer, and ran on to the Sea.

vayyinkhalu vene-yosef menasheh ve'efrayim

Thus the Josephites—that is, Manasseh and Ephraim—received their portion.

vayehi gevul bene-efrayim lemishpekhotam vayehi gevul nakhalatam mizrakhah atrot addar ad-bet khoron elyon

The territory of the Ephraimites, by their clans, was as follows: The boundary of their portion ran from Atroth-addar on the east to Upper Beth-horon,

veyatsa haggevul hayyammah hammikhmetat mitsafon venasav haggevul mizrakhah ta'anat shiloh ve'avar oto mimmizrakh yanokhah

and the boundary ran on to the Sea. And on the north, the boundary proceeded from Michmethath to the east of Taanath-shiloh and passed beyond it up to the east of Janoah;

veyarad miyyanokhah atarot vena'aratah ufaga birikho veyatsa hayyarden

from Janoah it descended to Ataroth and Naarath, touched on Jericho, and ran on to the Jordan.

mittappuakh yelekh haggevul yammah nakhal qanah vehayu totse'otayw hayyammah zot nakhalat matteh vene-efrayim lemishpekhotam

Westward, the boundary proceeded from Tappuah to the Wadi Kanah and ran on to the Sea. This was the portion of the tribe of the Ephraimites, by their clans,

vehe'arim hammivdalot livne efrayim betokh nakhalat bene-menasheh kol-he'arim vekhatsrehen

together with the towns marked off for the Ephraimites within the territory of the Manassites—all those towns with their villages.

velo horishu et-hakkena'ani hayyoshev begazer vayyeshev hakkena'ani beqerev efrayim ad-hayyom hazzeh vayehi lemas-oved

However, they failed to dispossess the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites remained in the midst of Ephraim, as is still the case. But they had to perform forced labor.
