Joshua 16:6
And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah; And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
The verse belongs to the portion of Joshua that records the distribution of Canaan among the tribes. That larger section, Joshua chapters 11 to 21, records the division and settlement of the Promised Land. The geographical boundaries given there were based on written documents that accurately described the land and its property. Within that record, the verse gives part of the boundary assigned to Ephraim. It traces its course by Michmethah, Taanath-shiloh, and Janohah, and thus places Taanath-shiloh within the territory of Ephraim.
Taanath-shiloh was a Canaanite place whose name is connected with the sanctuary's lasting rest at Shiloh. Shiloh was chosen as the site of the tabernacle and as the nation's capital. The account of division and settlement in these chapters stands alongside Israel's lack of faith and slowness. It closes with the assurance that God fulfilled all He had promised.
