Ephraim's Land
1-4 Ephraim and Manasseh are the two tribes descended from Joseph, and the following is a description of the land they received. The southern border of their land started at the Jordan River east of the spring at Jericho. From there it went west through the desert up to the hill country around Bethel. From Bethel it went to Luz and then to the border of the Archites in Ataroth. It continued west down to the land that belonged to the Japhlet clan, then went on to Lower Beth-Horon, Gezer, and the Mediterranean Sea.
5 The following is a description of the land that was divided among the clans of the Ephraim tribe. Their southern border started at Ataroth-Addar and went west to Upper Beth-Horon 6-8 and the Mediterranean Sea. Their northern border started on the east at Janoah, curved a little to the north, then came back south to Michmethath and Tappuah, where it followed the Kanah Gorge west to the Mediterranean Sea.
The eastern border started on the north near Janoah and went between Janoah on the southwest and Taanath-Shiloh on the northeast. Then it went south to Ataroth, Naarah, and on as far as the edge of the land that belonged to Jericho. At that point it turned east and went to the Jordan River. The clans of Ephraim received this region as their tribal land. 9 Ephraim also had some towns and villages that were inside Manasseh's tribal land.
10 Ephraim could not force the Canaanites out of Gezer, so there are still some Canaanites who live there among the Israelites. But now these Canaanites have to work as slaves for the Israelites.
حصة أفرايم
1 وكانَت حِصَّةُ بَني يوسُفَ بالقُرعَةِ مِنَ الأردُنِّ قُربَ أريحا إلى مياهِ أريحا شرقا، إلى البرِّيَّةِ الصَّاعِدَةِ مِنْ أريحا إلى جبَلِ بَيتَ إيلَ. 2 وهيَ تَنفُذُ مِنْ بَيتَ إيلَ إلى لوزَ وتَمُرُّ إلى حُدودِ الأركيِّينَ‌، إلى عَطاروتَ 3 وتنحَدِرُ غربا إلى حُدودِ اليَفلَطيِّينَ، إلى حُدودِ بَيتَ حورونَ السُّفلى وإلى جازَرَ، وتنتهي عِندَ البحرِ المُتوسِّطِ.
4 فأخَذَ ا‏بنا يوسُفَ، منَسَّى وأفرايِمَ حِصَّتَهُما، 5 وكانَت حُدودُ بَني أفرايِمَ بِـحسَبِ عشائرِهِم تَمتَدُّ مِنْ عَطاروتَ أدَّارَ شرقا إلى بَيتَ حورونَ العُليا 6 ويَنفُذُ غربا إلى المكمَتَةِ مِنَ الشَّمالِ وتميلُ شرقا إلى تآنَةِ شيلوه، وتمُرُّ فيها مِنَ الشَّرقِ إلى يَنوحَةَ 7 وتنحَدِرُ مِنْ يَنوحَةَ إلى عَطاروتَ ونَعراتَ وتنتَهي إلى أريحا وتَنفُذُ إلى الأردُنِّ. 8 وتَتَوجَّهُ مِنْ تَفُّوحَ غربا إلى وادي قانَةَ وتنتهي عِندَ البحرِ المُتوسِّطِ. هذِهِ حِصَّةُ سِبْطِ أفرايِمَ بِـحسَبِ عشائرِهِم، 9 ما عدا جميعَ المُدُنِ المَفروزَةِ بِقُراها لِبَني أفرايِمَ في وسَطِ ميراثِ بَني منَسَّى. 10 ولم يَطرُدوا الكنعانيِّينَ المُقيمينَ بِـجازَرَ، فأقامَ الكنعانيُّونَ بَينَ بَني أفرايِمَ إلى هذا اليومِ، وكانوا عبـيدا يُؤدُّونَ الجِزيَةَ.
