THIS COAST. (Jos 17:7-11)
the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah--The southern boundary is here traced from the east. Asher (now Yasir), the starting point, was a town fifteen Roman miles east of Shechem, and anciently a place of importance. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Asher - Not the tribe so called, but a place somewhere toward the eastern end of the boundary line here drawn: perhaps "Teyasir," on the road from Sichem to Beth-shean. |
7 And the coast [01366] of Manasseh [04519] was from Asher [0836] to Michmethah [04366], that lieth before [06440] Shechem [07927]; and the border [01366] went along [01980] on the right hand [03225] unto the inhabitants [03427] of Entappuah [05887].

10 Southward [05045] it was Ephraim's [0669], and northward [06828] it was Manasseh's [04519], and the sea [03220] is his border [01366]; and they met together [06293] in Asher [0836] on the north [06828], and in Issachar [03485] on the east [04217].
