Efraima cilts apgabals
1 Bet Jāzepa dēliem krita šāda loze – no Jardānas pie Jērikas līdz Jērikas ūdeņiem uz austrumiem, pāri tuksnesim no Jērikas līdz kalnienei uz Bēteli, 2 tad no Bēteles uz Lūzu pāri arkiešu robežām uz Atārotu, 3 tad lejup uz rietumiem, uz jaflētiešu robežām līdz lejas Bēt-Horonas robežām, tad līdz Gezerai un beidzas pie jūras.
4 Šī ir zeme, ko iemantoja Jāzepa dēli Manase un Efraims. 5 Efraima dēlu robežas pēc viņu dzimtām bija šādas – viņu mantojuma robeža austrumos ir no Atārot-Adāras līdz augšas Bēt-Horonai, 6 tad robeža stiepjas līdz jūrai un Mihmetātai ziemeļos, pēc tam robeža pagriežas uz austrumiem pret Taanat-Šīlo un gar to iet uz Jānohu austrumos. 7 No Jānohas tā iet lejā uz Atārotu un Naaru, tad, skarot Jēriku, iziet pie Jardānas. 8 No Tapūhas robeža iet uz Kānas upi rietumos un beidzas pie jūras – tāds ir Efraima dēlu mantojums pēc viņu dzimtām. 9 Tās ir pilsētas, kas iedalītas Efraima dēliem Manases dēlu mantojuma vidū – visas šīs pilsētas ar to ciemiem. 10 Bet viņi nepadzina kanaāniešus, kas mita Gezerā, un kanaānieši mīt Efraima vidū līdz šai dienai un ir klaušu vergi.
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.
