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 A tribo de Manassés recebeu dez quinhões de terra, além de Gileade e Basã, que ficam a leste do Jordão,

6 pois tanto as filhas de Manassés como os filhos dele receberam herança. A terra de Gileade ficou para os outros descendentes de Manassés.

7 O território de Manassés estendia-se desde Aser até Micmetá, a leste de Siquém. A fronteira ia dali para o sul, chegando até o povo que vivia em En-Tapua.

8 As terras de Tapua eram de Manassés, mas a cidade de Tapua, na fronteira de Manassés, pertencia aos efraimitas.

9 Depois a fronteira descia até o ribeiro de Caná. Ao sul do ribeiro havia cidades pertencentes a Efraim que ficavam em meio às cidades de Manassés, mas a fronteira de Manassés ficava ao norte do ribeiro e terminava no mar.
