Yehoshua 16:9 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 16:9

And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim
The tribe of Ephraim, being much larger than the half tribe of Manasseh, besides the lot that fell to it, described before by its boundaries, had several particular and distinct cities given to it: which

[were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh;
some that were upon the borders of Ephraim, and within the territory of Manasseh, and it may be where it jetted out in a nook or corner, see ( Joshua 17:8 Joshua 17:9 ) ;

all the cities with their villages;
not the separate cities only, but the little towns adjacent to them.

7 And it ran down from Yanochah to Atarot, and to Naarah, and came to Yericho, and ran to an end at the Yarden.

8 The boundary ran from Tapuach westward unto the Wadi Kanah; and the end thereof ran to the Yam. This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Ephrayim by their mishpekhot.

9 And the towns set aside for the Bnei Ephrayim were inside the Bnei Menasheh, all the towns with their villages.
