Joshua 16:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 16:5

And the border of the children of Ephraim, according to their
families, was [thus]
Or what follows is the description of it:

even the border of their inheritance on the east side was
Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
the first was on the south of the inheritance, and the latter on the north, as Masius has placed them: who has given us a type of this description, by which it appears that this lot is here described in its breadth from south to north.

Joshua 16:5 In-Context

3 then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japh'letites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-hor'on, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea.
4 The people of Joseph, Manas'seh and E'phraim, received their inheritance.
5 The territory of the E'phraimites by their families was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was At'aroth-ad'dar as far as Upper Beth-hor'on,
6 and the boundary goes thence to the sea; on the north is Mich-me'thath; then on the east the boundary turns round toward Ta'anath-shi'loh, and passes along beyond it on the east to Jan-o'ah,
7 then it goes down from Jan-o'ah to At'aroth and to Na'arah, and touches Jericho, ending at the Jordan.
