About this place
Ataroth was a town on the eastern edge of Ephraim’s land. The border passed “on the east of Janoah. It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan” (Joshua 16:6–7). It lay, then, on the way down from Janoah toward Jericho and the Jordan valley. It is not the Ataroth on the southern border of Joseph’s lot, between Bethel and Beth Horon (Joshua 16:2). Its site has not been identified.
