Joshua 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 18:13

And the border went over from thence towards Luz
From Bethaven, where the northern border ended, the western began, and went on to Luz:

to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward;
that is, passed along, leaving that city to the south, which formerly was called Luz, but now Bethel, which though distinct places formerly, yet being very near, might in process of time be joined; (See Gill on Joshua 16:2);

and the border descended to Atarothadar,
the same with Archiataroth, (See Gill on Joshua 16:2), and (See Gill on Joshua 16:5):

near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Bethhoron;
so called to distinguish it from Bethhoron the upper, situated on an hill or mountain, ( Joshua 16:5 ) ; this was rebuilt by Solomon, ( 1 Kings 9:17 ) .

Joshua 18:13 In-Context

11 The first part of the land was given to the tribe of Benjamin. Each family group received some land between the land of Judah and the land of Joseph. This is the land chosen for Benjamin:

12 The northern border started at the Jordan River and went along the northern edge of Jericho, and then it went west into the mountains. That boundary continued until it was just east of Beth Aven.

13 From there it went south to Luz (also called Bethel) and then down to Ataroth Addar, which is on the hill south of Lower Beth Horon.

14 At the hill to the south of Beth Horon, the border turned and went south near the western side of the hill. It went to Kiriath Baal (also called Kiriath Jearim), a town where people of Judah lived. This was the western border.

15 The southern border started near Kiriath Jearim and went west to the waters of Nephtoah.
