2and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;Select Joshua 16:2

3and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea.Select Joshua 16:3

4And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.Select Joshua 16:4
