Joshua 16 (YLT)

Young's Literal Translation

1 And the lot for the sons of Joseph goeth out from Jordan <FI>by<Fi> Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of Beth-El,

2 and hath gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over unto the border of Archi <FI>to<Fi> Ataroth,

3 and gone down westward unto the border of Japhleti, unto the border of Beth-Horon the lower, and unto Gezer, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

4 And the sons of Joseph--Manasseh and Ephraim--inherit.

5 And the border of the sons of Ephraim is by their families; and the border of their inheritance is on the east, Atroth-Addar unto Beth-Horon the upper;

6 and the border hath gone out at the sea, to Michmethah on the north, and the border hath gone round eastward <FI>to<Fi> Taanath-Shiloh, and passed over it eastward to Janohah,

7 and gone down from Janohah <FI>to<Fi> Ataroth, and to Naarath, and touched against Jericho, and gone out at the Jordan.

8 From Tappuah the border goeth westward unto the brook of Kanah, and its outgoings have been at the sea: this <FI>is<Fi> the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, for their families.

9 And the separate cities of the sons of Ephraim <FI>are<Fi> in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages;

10 and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and is to tribute--a servant.
