Then it went north-westward (or toward the sea) to Michmethah, which lay “facing Shechem” (Jos 17:7<\/span>), but which has not been discovered by any travellers.<\/p>\n Taanath-shiloh<\/em> ] identified by some with Ain Tna<\/em>, which lay between Shechem and the Jordan.<\/p>\n Janohah<\/em> ] Doubtless identical with the modern Yann<\/em>, about 10 miles south-east of Shechem, where extensive ruins of great antiquity exist.<\/p>\n Toward the sea; <\/B>the midland sea, towards the west. <\/P> <\/p>\n 6, 7.

Here the sentence should end, for to Michmethah <\/strong> evidently belongs to the northern boundary, and to another sentence. Toward the sea<\/strong>, then, completes the account of the boundary in the southwest. We would commence a new sentence with the word Michmethah<\/strong>, and render, Michmethah was on the north side. <\/em> Or perhaps it would be better to emend the reading by means of the parallel in Jos 17:7<\/span>, and read, The <\/em> border was from Asher to Michmethah on the north. <\/em> Michmethah is there said to lie before Shechem, <\/em> but that is indefinite. It is generally supposed to have been northeast of Shechem, but the exact site is unknown. <\/p>\n Went about <\/strong> That is, fetched a circuit, or slightly turned its course, eastward unto Taanath-shiloh<\/strong>. This is not improbably identical with Ain Tana, about eight miles southeast of Shechem. Janohah <\/strong> is still preserved in the village of Yanun, about two miles south of Ain Tana. Van de Velde says that “entire houses and walls of the ancient city are still existing, but covered with immense heaps of earth and rubbish.”<\/p>\n Ver. <\/em><\/strong>6. <\/strong>And the border went out toward the sea, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> The whole verse is very obscure: all that we can observe upon it is, that the portion of Ephraim was inclosed on the north by a line, which went from Upper Beth-horon, among others, to Michmethah, in the way to the Mediterranean, but on the north of that city drew near a little on the east towards Taanah-shiloh, <\/em>and went on to Janohah. <\/em>From ch. Jos 17:7<\/span> it appears, that Michmethah <\/em>was opposite Sichem. <\/em>Taanah-shiloh is probably the same as Taanach, <\/em>ch. Jos 17:11<\/span> which Eusebius places ten miles from Sichem, in the way to the Jordan. As to Janohah, <\/em>Eusebius sets down a place of that name at ten miles from Sichem, and also in the way to the Jordan. <\/p>\n Jos 16:6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;<\/p>\n Ver. 6.

These are ancient things, and to us hard to be understood.<\/p>\n Michmethah: Jos 17:7 <\/p>\n Taanathshiloh: Placed by Eusebius ten miles of Neapolis or Shechem.
