Joshua 16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 The allotment of the descendants of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel;	1 The lot that fell to the Josephites extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho east of the desert; then the boundary went up from Jericho to the heights at Bethel.
2 then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites;	2 Leaving Bethel for Luz, it crossed the ridge to the border of the Archites at Ataroth,
3 then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea.	3 and descended westward to the border of the Japhletites, to that of the Lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer, ending thence at the sea.
4 The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.	4 Within the heritage of Manasseh and Ephraim, sons of Joseph,
5 The territory of the Ephraimites by their families was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon,	5 the dividing line for the heritage of the clans of the Ephraimites ran from east of Ataroth-addar to Upper Bethhoron
6 and the boundary goes thence to the sea; on the north is Mich-methath; then on the east the boundary turns round toward Taanath-shiloh, and passes along beyond it on the east to Jan-oah,	6 and thence to the sea. From Michmethath on the north, their boundary curved eastward around Taanath-shiloh, and continued east of it to Janoah;
7 then it goes down from Jan-oah to Ataroth and to Naarah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan.	7 from there it descended to Ataroth and Naarah, and skirting Jericho, it ended at the Jordan.
8 From Tappuah the boundary goes westward to the brook Kanah, and ends at the sea. Such is the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites by their families,	8 From Tappuah the boundary ran westward to the Wadi Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the heritage of the clans of the Ephraimites,
9 together with the towns which were set apart for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites, all those towns with their villages.	9 including the villages that belonged to each city set aside for the Ephraimites within the territory of the Manassehites.
10 However they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have become slaves to do forced labor.	10 But they did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, who live on within Ephraim to the present day, though they have been impressed as laborers.
