Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of Manasseh— (Joshua 17:9), because it was found that the tract allotted to Ephraim was too small in proportion to its population and power.
THE BORDERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF EPHRAIM. (Joshua 16:5-9)
the border of their inheritance . . . was Ataroth-addar—Ataroth-addar (now Atara), four miles south of Jetta [ROBINSON], is fixed on as a center, through which a line is drawn from Upper Beth-horon to Michmethah, showing the western limit of their actual possessions. The tract beyond that to the sea was still unconquered.
