Joshua 17:10

10 What is south [of the river] belongs to Ephraim, and what is north [of it] belongs to Manasseh. So the Mediterranean Sea [is its western border], Asher its northern border, and Issachar its eastern border.

Joshua 17:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 17:10

Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was]
Manasseh's
As Ephraim lay to the south of Manasseh, Manasseh lay to the north of Ephraim:

and the sea is his border;
the Mediterranean sea was their boundary on the west:

and they met together in Asher on the north;
that is, on the northwest towards the Mediterranean sea, as, at Mount Carmel:

and in Issachar on the east;
towards Jordan.

Joshua 17:10 In-Context

8 (The land of Tappuah belongs to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself, on the border of Manasseh, belongs to Ephraim.)

9 The border then descends southward to the Kanah River. These cities belong to Ephraim, although they are among Manasseh's cities. Manasseh's [southern] border is the river, which ends at the Mediterranean Sea.

10 What is south [of the river] belongs to Ephraim, and what is north [of it] belongs to Manasseh. So the Mediterranean Sea [is its western border], Asher its northern border, and Issachar its eastern border.

11 In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh possessed Beth Shean and Ibleam with their villages and the people living in Dor, En Dor, Taanach, and Megiddo and their villages. The last three are on mountain ridges.

12 But Manasseh was not able to take possession of these cities since the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.
