Josué 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 16:2

And goeth out from Bethel to Luz
For though these two places in time became one, yet they were originally distinct. Bethel, at which Jacob stopped, and who gave it its name, was a field adjacent to the city of Luz, ( Genesis 38:11 Genesis 38:19 ) ; and therefore with propriety may be, as they here are, distinguished:

and passeth along unto the borders Archi to Ataroth;
or to Archiataroth; these two words being the name of one and the same place, and to be joined as they are, in the Greek version, and others; and is the same with Atarothaddar, ( Joshua 16:5 ) ( 18:13 ) . Ataroth was its proper name, but it had these additional epithets to distinguish it from another Ataroth; see ( Joshua 16:7 ) ; Jerom F2 makes mention of Atharoth by Ramma, in the tribe of Joseph, and of another in the tribe of Ephraim, now a village at the north of Sebaste, or Samaria, four miles from it, called Atharus; the former is here meant.

Josué 16:2 In-Context

1 El territorio asignado a los descendientes de José comenzaba en el río Jordán, al este de los manantiales de Jericó; y de allí ascendía hacia la región montañosa de Betel, a través del desierto.
2 De Betel, es decir, Luz, continuaba hacia el territorio de los arquitas hasta Astarot,
3 descendía hacia el oeste al territorio de los jafletitas hasta la región de Bet Jorón de Abajo y Guézer, y terminaba en el mar Mediterráneo.
4 Así fue como las tribus de Manasés y Efraín, descendientes de José, recibieron como herencia sus territorios.
5 Este es el territorio que recibieron la tribu de Efraín y sus respectivos clanes:En el lado oriental sus límites se extendían desde Atarot Adar hasta Bet Jorón de Arriba,
