Overview
Janohah was a city located on the eastern border of the tribe of Ephraim during the settlement of Canaan. It served as a significant geographical marker defining the tribal boundaries established when Joshua divided the Promised Land among the twelve tribes of Israel.
Key Scriptures
"Then the border went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, reached Jericho, and came out at the Jordan" (Joshua 16:7, NASB).
"The border of the children of Ephraim, according to their families, was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar unto Beth-horon the upper" (Joshua 16:5, NASB).
Application
God's precise ordering of land boundaries reminds us that He establishes clear boundaries in His Word and expects His people to live within them obediently.
