Joshua 17:8 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 17:8

[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah
The whole territory that went by that name, from a city of note in it, next mentioned; all the fields and villages in it belonged to the tribe of Manasseh:

but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of
Ephraim;
and was one of those separate cities they had among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh; though it seems they had only the city, not the territory adjacent to it, and which was named from it.

Joshua 17:8 In-Context

6 because the daughters of Menashsheh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gil`ad belonged to the rest of the sons of Menashsheh.

7 The border of Menashsheh was from Asher to Mikhmetat, which is before Shekhem; and the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of `Entappu'ach.

8 The land of Tappuach belonged to Menashsheh; but Tappuach on the border of Menashsheh belonged to the children of Efrayim.

9 The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Efrayim among the cities of Menashsheh: and the border of Menashsheh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out of it were at the sea:

10 southward it was Efrayim's, and northward it was Menashsheh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Yissakhar on the east.
