This is different from Ataroth before mentioned, Jos 16:2<\/span>; there were several places of this name, as before observed; this seems to be that which Jerom places four miles from Sebaste or Samaria,<\/p>\n [See comments on Jos 16:2]<\/span>;<\/p>\n and to Naarath<\/strong>; Jerom g says, that Naarath was in his time called Naorath, a village of the Jews, five miles from Jericho; and is the village Josephus h calls Neara, where was a water, half of which Archelaus turned, and led to the field planted with palm trees, near Jericho; and, according to the Jewish writers i: there was a place called Noaran near to Jericho, which seems to be this:<\/p>\n and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan<\/strong>; where it ended this way, which was eastward.<\/p>\n g De loc.

The boundary line then touched Jericho, i.e., the district of Jericho, namely on the north side of the district, as Jericho was allotted to the tribe of Benjamin (Jos 18:21<\/span>). At this point it also coincided with the southern boundary of the tribe of Joseph (Jos 16:1<\/span>) and the northern boundary of Benjamin (Jos 18:12<\/span>).<\/p>\n 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> From Janohah to Ataroth <\/strong> In this verse we have a confusion of the northern and southern borders, resulting doubtless from some transposition in the text.
