Joshua 17:9 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 17:9

And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the
river
The same mentioned in the account of the coast of Ephraim, ( Joshua 16:8 ) ; which was north of that river, as Manasseh was to the south of it:

these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh;
that is, the cities before mentioned, Asher, Michmethah, Entappuah, and Tappuah; though they were in the tribe of Manasseh, yet they were inhabited by the Ephraimites:

the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river;
of the river Kanah, as well as on the south of it; it had cities there, though possessed by the tribe of Ephraim:

and the outgoings of it were at the sea;
the Mediterranean sea.
