and their suburbs round about these cities: a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities: a and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders: b and the children of Israel gave a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him the city which he asked: they gave him Thamnasachar in mount Ephraim; c and Joshua built the city, and dwelt in it: d and Joshua took the knives of stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasachar.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

κύκλῳ τῶν πόλεων τούτων· πόλις καὶ τὰ περισπόρια κύκλῳ τῆς πόλεως πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσι ταύταις· a καὶ συνετέλεσεν Ἰησοῦς διαμερίσας τὴν γῆν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῶν· b καὶ ἔδωκαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ μερίδα τῷ Ἰησοῖ διὰ πρόσταγμα Κυρίου· ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ τὴν πόλιν, ἣν ᾐτήσατο· τὴν Θαμνασαχὰρ ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραίμ· c καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν Ἰησοῦς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν αὐτῇ· d καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰησοῦς τὰς μαχαίρας τὰς πετρίνας, ἐν αἷς περιέτεμε τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς γενομένους ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὰς ἐν Θαμνασαχάρ.
