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 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

9 And the border descended to the Brook Kanah, southward to the brook. These 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, Manasseh had Beth 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 the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
