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].
8 Now Manasseh [04519] had the land [0776] of Tappuah [08599]: but Tappuah [08599] on the border [01366] of Manasseh [04519] belonged to the children [01121] of Ephraim [0669];
9 And the coast [01366] descended [03381] unto the river [05158] Kanah [07071], southward [05045] of the river [05158]: these cities [05892] of Ephraim [0669] are among [08432] the cities [05892] of Manasseh [04519]: the coast [01366] of Manasseh [04519] also was on the north side [06828] of the river [05158], and the outgoings [08444] of it were at the sea [03220]:
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].
11 And Manasseh [04519] had in Issachar [03485] and in Asher [0836] Bethshean [01052] and her towns [01323], and Ibleam [02991] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Dor [01756] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Endor [05874] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Taanach [08590] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Megiddo [04023] and her towns [01323], even three [07969] countries [05316].
