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 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.
7 From Janoah it descends to Ataroth and Naarah, touches Jericho, and ends at the Jordan River.
