Joshua 16:6 And the confines go out unto the sea: but Machmethath looketh to the north, and it goeth round the borders eastward into Thanath-selo; and passeth along on the east side to Janoe.

Looketh to the north, etc. The meaning is, that the border went towards the north, by Machmethath; and then turned eastward to Thanathselo. (Challoner) --- Borders. It should be terminus. "The border turneth eastward," Septuagint. (Bonfrere) --- Janoe, twelve miles east of Sichem. (Eusebius) (4 Kings 15:29.)
