Joshua 16:2

AtarothBethel (of Palestine)Ephraim (Territory)Luz

1 The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.

It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.

3 Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.

4 So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
