Joshua 18:13

And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.

And the border {H1366} went over {H5674} from thence toward Luz {H3870}, to the side {H3802} of Luz {H3870}, which is Bethel {H1008}, southward {H5045}; and the border {H1366} descended {H3381} to Atarothadar {H5853}, near the hill {H2022} that lieth on the south side {H5045} of the nether {H8481} Bethhoron {H1032}.

From there the border passed on to Luz, to the south side of Luz (that is, Beit-El); then the border went down to 'Atrot-Adar, by the hill on the south side of Lower Beit-Horon.

From there the border crossed over to the southern slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill south of Lower Beth-horon.

And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether.
