16:2 The southern border 1  extended from Bethel to Luz, 2  and crossed to Arkite territory at Ataroth.

Joshua 16:7

Context
16:7 It then descended from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, 3  and extended to the Jordan River. 4 

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

2 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]”).

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

4 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
