Josué 17:7

7 Ora, o termo de Manassés vai desde Aser até Micmetá, que está defronte de Siquém; e estende-se pela direita até os moradores de En-Tapua.

Josué 17:7 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 17:7

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher
Not from the border of the tribe of Asher, as Kimchi, in which he is followed by Vatablus; for that was at too great a distance; but a city of the tribe of Manasseh; and in Jerom's ^F12 time a village of this name was shown fifteen miles from Neapolis or Shechem, as you go from thence to Scythopolis, near the public road:

to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem;
the same place mentioned in the description of the border of Ephraim, (See Gill on Joshua 16:6):

and the border went along on the right hand, unto the inhabitants of
Entappuah;
that is, leaving this place, and its inhabitants to the right, which was a place in the land of that name, next mentioned; and seems to be so called from a fountain in it, or near it, as well as from a multitude of apples growing there, and with which perhaps the country abounded, of which in ( Joshua 17:8 ) .

Josué 17:7 In-Context

5 E couberam a Manassés dez quinhões, afora a terra de Gileade e Basã, que está além do Jordão;

6 porque as filhas de Manassés possuíram herança entre os filhos dele; e a terra de Gileade coube aos outros filhos de Manassés.

7 Ora, o termo de Manassés vai desde Aser até Micmetá, que está defronte de Siquém; e estende-se pela direita até os moradores de En-Tapua.

8 A terra de Tapua ficou pertencendo a Manassés; porém Tapua, junto ao termo de Manassés, pertencia aos filhos de Efraim .

9 Então desce este termo ao ribeiro de Caná; a Efraim couberam as cidades ao sul do ribeiro no meio das cidades de Manassés; o termo de Manassés está ao norte do ribeiro, e vai até o mar.
