- 1And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,וַיֵּצֵ֨א הַגּוֹרָ֜ל לִבְנֵ֤י יוֹסֵף֙ מִיַּרְדֵּ֣ן יְרִיח֔וֹ לְמֵ֥י יְרִיח֖וֹ מִזְרָ֑חָה הַמִּדְבָּ֗ר עֹלֶ֧ה מִירִיח֛וֹ בָּהָ֖ר אֵֽל
- 2And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,וְיָצָ֥א אֵ֖ל ל֑וּזָה וְעָבַ֛ר אֶל גְּב֥וּל הָאַרְכִּ֖י עֲטָרֽוֹת
- 3And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.וְיָֽרַד יָ֜מָּה אֶל גְּב֣וּל הַיַּפְלֵטִ֗י עַ֣ד גְּב֧וּל חוֹרֹ֛ן תַּחְתּ֖וֹן וְעַד גָּ֑זֶר וְהָי֥וּ תצאתו תֹצְאֹתָ֖יו יָֽמָּה
- 4So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.וַיִּנְחֲל֥וּ בְנֵי יוֹסֵ֖ף מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה וְאֶפְרָֽיִם
- 5And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;וַיְהִ֛י גְּב֥וּל בְּנֵֽי אֶפְרַ֖יִם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם וַיְהִ֞י גְּב֤וּל נַחֲלָתָם֙ מִזְרָ֔חָה אַדָּ֔ר עַד חוֹרֹ֖ן עֶלְיֽוֹן
- 6And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;וְיָצָ֨א הַגְּב֜וּל הַיָּ֗מָּה הַֽמִּכְמְתָת֙ מִצָּפ֔וֹן וְנָסַ֧ב הַגְּב֛וּל מִזְרָ֖חָה שִׁלֹ֑ה וְעָבַ֣ר אוֹת֔וֹ מִמִּזְרַ֖ח יָנֽוֹחָה
- 7And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.וְיָרַ֥ד מִיָּנ֖וֹחָה עֲטָר֣וֹת וְנַעֲרָ֑תָה וּפָגַע֙ בִּֽירִיח֔וֹ וְיָצָ֖א הַיַּרְדֵּֽן
- 8The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.מִתַּפּ֜וּחַ יֵלֵ֨ךְ הַגְּב֥וּל יָ֨מָּה֙ נַ֣חַל קָנָ֔ה וְהָי֥וּ תֹצְאֹתָ֖יו הַיָּ֑מָּה זֹ֗את נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵי אֶפְרַ֖יִם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם
- 9And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.וְהֶעָרִ֗ים הַמִּבְדָּלוֹת֙ לִבְנֵ֣י אֶפְרַ֔יִם בְּת֖וֹךְ נַחֲלַ֣ת בְּנֵֽי מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה כָּֽל הֶעָרִ֖ים וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן
- 10And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.וְלֹ֣א הוֹרִ֔ישׁוּ אֶת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֖י הַיּוֹשֵׁ֣ב בְּגָ֑זֶר וַיֵּ֨שֶׁב הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֜י בְּקֶ֤רֶב אֶפְרַ֨יִם֙ עַד הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה וַיְהִ֖י לְמַס עֹבֵֽד

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
