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 descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites to the region of Lower Beth Horon and on to Gezer, ending at the Sea.
4 This is the region from which the people of Joseph - Manasseh and Ephraim - got their inheritance.
5 Ephraim's territory by clans:
6 and then west to the Sea. From Micmethath on the north it turned eastward to Taanath Shiloh and passed along, still eastward, to Janoah.
7 The border then descended from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah; it touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
