Joshua 16:4 In-Context

2 From Bethel it went to Luz, passing on to Ataroth Addar, where the Archites lived.

3 It then went west to the area of the Japhletites, as far as the area of Lower Beth Horon. It went on from there to Gezer and ended at the Mediterranean Sea.

4 The descendants of Joseph, the tribes of Ephraim and West Manasseh, received this land as their possession.

5 This was the territory of the Ephraimite families: their border ran from Ataroth Addar eastward to Upper Beth Horon,

6 and from there to the Mediterranean Sea. Michmethath was on their north. East of there the border bent toward Taanath Shiloh and went past it on the east to Janoah.
