The author is describing the location of one place relative to another in the way that is characteristic of his culture. He means that if someone were traveling from Bethel to Beth Aven, he would be coming from the east. In your translation express this in the way your culture describes the relative location of places. Alternate translation: “to the east of Bethel”

go_up & and,went_up the,men
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the expressions Go up and went up indicate that the Israelite spies had to move upward in elevation in order to spy out Ai. If your language does not mark travel expressions for elevation, you could shorten these expressions here and throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: “‘Go …’ And the men went”
7:2 As he did before the battle for Jericho, Joshua sent some of his men to assess the situation at Ai. This town stood about ten miles west of Jericho at the entrance to a plateau north of Jerusalem called the Plateau of Benjamin; conquering Ai would open the way for Israel to control the hill country.
• Beth-aven, “house of iniquity,” was probably an intentionally derogatory wordplay on the name Bethel, the “house of God.” A pagan shrine stood on this site later in Israel’s history (1 Kgs 12:28-33).
