Joshua 16:4 In-Context

2 From Bethel the border goes to Luz and over to Ataroth at the border of the Archites.

3 Then it descends west to the border of Japhlet and Lower Beth Horon, on to Gezer, and ends at the Mediterranean Sea.

4 So Joseph's sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, received this land as their inheritance.

5 This is the territory for the families descended from Ephraim. The eastern border of the land they inherited is from Ataroth Addar to Upper Beth Horon.

6 From there the border goes west, with Michmethath on the north. The border then turns east to Taanath Shiloh and passes east to Janoah.
