12:9 the king of Jericho 1  (one),

the king of Ai – located near Bethel – (one),

Joshua 16:2

Context
16:2 The southern border 2  extended from Bethel to Luz, 3  and crossed to Arkite territory at Ataroth.

1 map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

2 tn Heb “it”; the referent (the southern border) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn In the Hebrew text the place name “Luz” has the directive ending, indicating that the border went from Bethel to Luz. Elsewhere Luz and Bethel appear to be names for the same site (cf. Judg 1:23), but here they appear to be distinct. Note that the NIV translates “from Bethel (that is, Luz)” here, following the reading of the LXX, εἰς Βαιθηλ Λουζα (eis Baiqhl Louza, “from Bethel [Luz]”).
