(Some words not found in UHB: and,goes_down west,to to/towards border the,Japhletites until border house_of חוֹרֹן lower and=unto Gezer and=they_will_be ends_of,it sea,at )
As the General Introduction to Joshua discusses, here the author is using the term sea by association to mean the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, that is, from his perspective, the west. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language, here and throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: “westward”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶל גְּב֣וּל הַיַּפְלֵטִ֗י עַ֣ד גְּב֧וּל בֵּית חוֹרֹ֛ן תַּחְתּ֖וֹן
to/towards border the,Japhletites until border house_of חוֹרֹן lower
The author is using the term border by association to mean territory. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “to the territory of the Japhletites, to the territory of Lower Beth Horon”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
הַיַּפְלֵטִ֗י
the,Japhletites
The author is not referring to a specific Japhletite. He means the members of the Japhletite people group in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “the Japhletites”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: and its goings out were at the sea
(Some words not found in UHB: and,goes_down west,to to/towards border the,Japhletites until border house_of חוֹרֹן lower and=unto Gezer and=they_will_be ends_of,it sea,at )
As the General Introduction to Joshua discusses, when the author says the sea, typically he means the Mediterranean Sea. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers, here and throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: “and the border ended at the Mediterranean Sea”
16:3 Ephraim’s border followed the ascent from lower to upper Beth-horon (see 16:5), giving this tribe control of one of the two main roads to Jerusalem from the west.
• Gezer, a large and important Canaanite town at the juncture of the coastal plain and the hill country, apparently did not come into Israel’s possession until the time of Solomon (see Judg 1:29; 1 Kgs 9:16).
