Joshua 17:9-11
New English Translation
9 The border then descended southward to the Valley of Kanah. Ephraim was assigned cities there among the cities of Manasseh,[a] but the border of Manasseh was north of the valley and ended at the sea. 10 Ephraim’s territory was to the south, and Manasseh’s to the north. The sea was Manasseh’s[b] western border and their territory[c] touched Asher on the north and Issachar on the east. 11 Within Issachar’s and Asher’s territories Manasseh was assigned Beth Shean, Ibleam, the residents of Dor, the residents of Endor, the residents of Taanach, the residents of Megiddo, the three of Napheth,[d] and the towns surrounding all these cities.[e]
