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 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.
7 Then it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, reaching Jericho and ending at the Jordan.
