Josué 16:8 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 16:8

The border went out from Tappuah westward
Which was different from the Tappuah in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:34 ) ; this was in the tribe of Ephraim on the border of Manasseh, ( Joshua 17:8 ) ;

unto the river Kanah;
supposed by some to be the brook Cherith, by which Elijah hid himself, ( 1 Kings 17:3 1 Kings 17:5 ) ; though objected to by others; it seems to have had its name from the reeds which grew in it, or on the banks of it:

and the goings out thereof were at the sea;
if the river Kanah was the brook Cherith, this must be the dead or salt sea: but that is never called "the sea", rather the Mediterranean sea is meant, and consequently Kanah could not be Cherith, which was at too great a distance from this sea:

this [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by
their families;
that is, this is the description of the border of it; for the cities within are not mentioned, and the descriptions in general are very obscure.

Josué 16:8 In-Context

6 y sale este término al mar, y a Micmetat al norte, y da vuelta este término hacia el oriente a Taanat-silo, y de aquí pasa al oriente a Janoa;
7 y de Janoa desciende a Atarot, y a Naarat, y toca en Jericó, y sale al Jordán.
8 Y de Tapúa torna este término hacia el mar al arroyo de Caná, y sale al mar. Esta es la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Efraín por sus familias.
9 Hubo también ciudades que se apartaron para los hijos de Efraín en medio de la herencia de los hijos de Manasés, todas ciudades con sus aldeas.
10 Y no echaron al cananeo que habitaba en Gezer; antes quedó el cananeo en medio de Efraín, hasta hoy, y fue tributario.
