Joshua 16:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Ta'anath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

Michmethah on the north side - literally, the Michmethah, a place of note. [Septuagint, Ikasmoon.] The northern boundary is traced from this point eastward to the Jordan.

Janohah - now Janun, an extensive ruin. Eusebius and Jerome ('Onomast.,' article 'Janohah') place it 12 Roman miles to the east of Shechem; i:e., just where it is (Van de Velde, 'Syria and Palestine,' 2:, pp. 303,

304).
