Of the half tribe of Manasseh on this side Jordan: near to them the Ephraimites dwelt, even near to

Bethshean and her towns, Taanach and her towns, Megiddo and her towns,
Dor and her towns;
of all which places see ( Joshua 17:11 ) ,

in these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel;
the Ephraimites, in those mentioned in ( 1 Chronicles 7:28 ) , and the Manassites, in those that are here mentioned; who were both the children or posterity of Joseph, the beloved son of Israel.
