Joshua 16:5

EphraimAtaroth-addarEphraim (Territory)Upper Beth-horon

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.

This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon

6 and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.

7 From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
