Joshua 17:10
Compare all
8 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but aTappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.  
9 And the1 border descended to the Brook Kanah, southward to the brook. aThese cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and it ended at the sea.  
10 Southward it was Ephraim’s, northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was its border. Manasseh’s territory was adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.
11 And in Issachar and in Asher, aManasseh had bBeth Shean and its towns, Ibleam and its towns, the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of En Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns—three hilly regions.  
12 Yet athe children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.  
13 And it happened, when the children of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to aforced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.

<< Joshua 17:9   Joshua 17:11 >>


Joshua 17:10

Southward - i. e. of the river Kanah.

Render, "they (i. e. the two kindred tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the northern border being treated here as common to the two) reached unto Asher." (See the map.) The northern border is only indicated in general terms, perhaps because the Israelites were not yet completely masters of this part of the country, and so had not precisely determined it.
