06:017:005 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of
Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
06:017:006 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among
his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
06:017:007 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that
lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto
the inhabitants of Entappuah.
06:017:008 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the
border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
06:017:009 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of
the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh:
the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the
outgoings of it were at the sea:
06:017:010 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's,
and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north,
and in Issachar on the east.
06:017:011 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her
towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her
towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants
of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns,
even three countries.
06:017:012 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the
inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that
land.
06:017:013 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen
strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly
drive them out.
06:017:014 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why
hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am
a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
06:017:015 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then
get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the
land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too
narrow for thee.
06:017:016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for
us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have
chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and
they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
06:017:017 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim
and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power:
thou shalt not have one lot only:
06:017:018 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou
shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou
shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and
though they be strong.
06:018:001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
06:018:002 And there remained among the children of Israel seven
tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
