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.
