Joshua 16:2

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

It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz), crossed over to the territory of the Arkites in Ataroth,

It went from Bethel to Luz, and continued to the border of the Archites at Ataroth.

From Bethel (that is, Luz) it ran over to Ataroth in the territory of the Arkites.

It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) to the territory of the Arkites in Ataroth.

And it goes out from Beth-el to Luz, and on as far as the limit of the Archites to Ataroth;

then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites;

then went out from Bethel to Luz, passed along to the border of the Archites at Ataroth,

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

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]”).
