¹ Sinovima Josipovim pripao je ždrijebom posjed: od Jordana kod Jerihona, od Jerihonskih voda na istok, pa pustinjom k Betelskoj gori;

² od Betel-Luza međa se nastavljala područjem Arkijaca do Atarota.

³ Potom se spuštala na zapad do jafletske međe, sve do Donjeg Bet-Horona i do Gezera, odakle je izlazila na more.

⁴ To je bila baština Josipovih sinova: Manašea i Efrajima.

⁵ Područje sinova Efrajimovih po njihovim porodicama bilo je ovo: međa baštine njihove prema istoku išla je od Atrot Adara pa do Gornjega Bet-Horona.

⁶ Odatle se pružala do mora ... (išla na) Mikmetat na sjeveru i zavijala dalje na istok prema Taanat Šilu i prolazila s istočne strane do Janoaha.

⁷ Od Janoaha spuštala se u Atarot i Naarat i onda, dotičući se Jerihona, udarala na Jordan.

⁸ Od Tapuaha išla je ta međa prema zapadu do potoka Kane te izbijala na more. To je bila baština plemena sinova Efrajimovih po njihovim porodicama.

⁹ A Efrajimovi su sinovi imali sve te gradove s njihovim selima i još odvojene gradove usred baštine sinova Manašeovih.

¹⁰ Ali nisu uspjeli otjerati Kanaanaca koji su živjeli u Gezeru. Tako su Kanaanci ostali među sinovima Efrajimovim do danas, ali im bijaše nametnuta tlaka.

¹ Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

² Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.

³ The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side.

⁴ Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in its midst.

⁵ To the others he said in my hearing, Go through the city after him, and strike: don't let your eye spare, neither have pity;

⁶ kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don't come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.

⁷ He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth! They went forth, and struck in the city.

⁸ It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?

⁹ Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion: for they say, Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn't see.

¹⁰ As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.

¹¹ Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
