The territory allotted to their lot lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph. 12 Their northern boundary began at the Jordan, ascended to the northern slope of Jericho, went up to the hill country westward, and ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven. 13 From there, the boundary crossed over to Luz, to the southern slope of Luz (that is, Bethel). Then it went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill south of Lower Beth-horon. 14 The boundary turned around on the western side, curving to the south, facing the mountain that lies in front of Beth-horon to the south, and ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a town of the sons of Judah.
