SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:7
y de Janoa desciende a Atarot, y a Naarat, y toca en Jericó, y sale al Jordán.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. And it went down from Johanan to Ataroth , etc.] This is different from Ataroth before mentioned, ( Joshua 16:2); there were several places of this name, as before observed; this seems to be that which Jerom places four miles from Sebaste or Samaria, (see Gill on “ Joshua 16:2”); and to Naarath ; Jerom says, that Naarath was in his time called Naorath, a village of the Jews, five miles from Jericho; and is the village Josephus 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 f386 : there was a place called Noaran near to Jericho, which seems to be this: and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan ; where it ended this way, which was eastward.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The sons of Joseph. --This and the following chapter should not be separated. They give the lots of Ephraim and Manasseh, the children of Joseph, who, next to Judah, were to have the post of honour, and therefore had the first an best portion in the northern part of Canaan, as Judah in the souther part. God's people now, as of old, suffer his enemies to remain Blessed Lord, when will all our enemies be subdued? 1Co 15:26. Do tho drive them all out; thou alone canst do it. These settled boundarie may remind us, that our situation and provision in this life, as wel as our future inheritance, are appointed by the only wise and righteou God, and we should be content with our portion, since he knows what is best for us, and all we have is more than we deserve __________________________________________________________________
