Joshua 17:5-11

5That is why Manasseh's tribe received ten parts of the land, as well as Gilead and Bashan on the east side of the Jordan.

6The daughters of Manasseh received some land, as well as his sons. They gave the land of Gilead to the other families of Manasseh.

7The border of Manasseh's land went from Asher to Micmethath, east of Shechem. It went south to include En Tappuah.

8Manasseh received the land near Tappuah, but the town of Tappuah belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.

9The border of Manasseh's land went down to Kanah valley and along its north side to the Mediterranean Sea. Some towns on the south of that valley belonged to Ephraim, but they were in Manasseh's land.

10Ephraim's land was south of the river, and Manasseh's land was to the north. Manasseh's west border was the Mediterranean Sea. Asher's land was on the north side of Manasseh's land. Issachar's land was on the east side.

11Some towns that were in the lands of Issachar and Asher belonged to Manasseh. They were Beth Shan, Ibleam and the people who lived in Dor, Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo. They included the villages near those towns.
