Bible Commentary

Joshua 16:7

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Ataroth. Another Ataroth, on the northern border of Ephraim. The name, which signifies crowns is a common one (see Numbers 32:3, Numbers 32:34, Numbers 32:35; 1 Chronicles 2:54). Came to Jericho. Or perhaps skirted Jericho.

The word used (see note on Joshua 16:5) is akin to the Latin pango and our impinge.
