Exegesis
The compound toponym atrotadar {עַטְר֣וֹת אַדָּ֔ר | ʿa-ṯer-ōt ă-dar} ‘Ataroth Addar’ is followed by a relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁ֛ר | ʾă-sher} ‘which,’ leading into the construct minegev beit-choron tachton {מִנֶּ֥גֶב לְבֵית־חֹר֖וֹן תַּחְתּֽוֹן | min ne-gev lə-bēṯ-ḥō-ron taḥ-tōn} ‘from the south of Beth-horon lower.’ English syntax breaks long Hebrew chains for clarity but preserves the sense of official land demarcation and topographical descent.
In context — Joshua 18:13
And the boundary crossed over from there to Luz to the slope of Luz southward—it is Bethel—and descended to Ataroth Addar on the hill that lies south of Lower Beth-horon.
