| Joshua 16:2
| And goeth out from Bethel to Luza: and passeth the border of Archi, to Atharoth:
| To Luza. The Vulgate reads Bethel Luza, which may be supposed to be two names, (chap. 18:13.; Haydock) for the same city. (Menochius) (Genesis 28:29.) --- Bethel was probably the country, (Calmet) or mountain, (Haydock) to the east of Luza, on the frontiers of Benjamin and of Ephraim; for which reason it is sometimes attributed to both. --- To Atharoth. This city, and Archi, are supposed by some to be the same city. Archi seems, however, to have been a distinct place, where Chusai ws born, 2 Kings 15:32. Atharoth is styled Addar, "the illustrious," ver. 5. It was 15 miles from Jericho.
