Joshua 16
Revised Literal Translation
1And the lotH1486 of the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 fellH3318 from JordanH3383 by JerichoH3405, unto the waterH4325 of JerichoH3405 on the eastH4217, to the wildernessH4057 that goeth upH5927 from JerichoH3405 throughout mountH2022 Beth–elH1008,1 2And goeth outH3318 from Beth–elH1008 to LuzH3870, and passeth alongH5674 unto the bordersH1366 of ArchiH757 to AtarothH5852, 3And goeth downH3381 westwardH3220 to the coastH1366 of JaphletiH3311, unto the coastH1366 of Beth–horonH1032 the netherH8481, and to GezerH1507: and the goings outH8444 thereof are at the seaH3220. 4So the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130, ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, took their inheritanceH5157.
5And the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 according to their familiesH4940 was thus: even the borderH1366 of their inheritanceH5159 on the east sideH4217 was Ataroth–addarH5853, unto Beth–horonH1032 the upperH5945; 6And the borderH1366 went outH3318 toward the seaH3220 to MichmethahH4366 on the north sideH6828; and the borderH1366 went aboutH5437 eastwardH4217 unto Taanath–shilohH8387, and passedH5674 by it on the eastH4217 to JanohahH3239; 7And it went downH3381 from JanohahH3239 to AtarothH5852, and to NaarathH5292, and cameH6293 to JerichoH3405, and went outH3318 at JordanH3383. 8The borderH1366 went outH3212 from TappuahH8599 westwardH3220 unto the riverH5158 KanahH7071; and the goings outH8444 thereof were at the seaH3220. This is the inheritanceH5159 of the tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 by their familiesH4940. 9And the separateH3995 citiesH5892 for the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 were amongH8432 the inheritanceH5159 of the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, all the citiesH5892 with their villagesH2691. 10And they drave not outH3423 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in GezerH1507: but the CanaanitesH3669 dwellH3427 amongH7130 the EphraimitesH669 unto this dayH3117, and serveH5647 under tributeH4522.
