Exegesis

Directional mizracha {מִזְרָחָה | mi·zrā·ḥā} provides spatial orientation, and the sequence of place names Atrot Addar {עַטְר֣וֹת אַדָּ֔ר | ʿaṭ·rōt aḏ·dār} and Beth Horon Elyon {בֵּ֥ית חוֹרֹ֖ן עֶלְיֽוֹן | bêṯ ḥō·rōn ʿel·yōn} delineates boundary endpoints. The translation renders Hebrew VSO order into English SVO for readability, preserving the repetitive emphasis on borders and maintaining proper noun transliteration.

In context — Joshua 16:5

And the border of the sons of Ephraim, according to their clans , was as follows: The border of their inheritance was eastward from Ataroth Addar to Upper Beth Horon.
