Joshua 16
The lot of Ephraim and Manasseh, ver. 1-4. Of Ephraim in
particular, ver. 5-10.
Verse 1. Children of Joseph - That is, of Ephraim, and the half tribe of
Manasseh, which are here put together in one; because in these
first verses he speaks of them in common; and then of their
several portions.
Verse 4. Manasseh - That is, half Manasseh. Their inheritance - Their
several portions which here follow. It is said, they took their
inheritance, which also Judah had done before them, because the
tribes of Judah and Joseph did take their inheritances before the
rest; and it was fit they should do so, for the security of the main
camp, and the body of the people which were at Gilgal, chap.
xviii, 5.
Verse 5. East-side - That is, the northeast side. It is no wonder, if some
of these descriptions are dark to us at this distance of time; there
having been so many alterations made in places, and so many
circumstances, being now altogether undiscoverable. But this is
certain, that all the descriptions here mentioned, were then evident
to the Israelites, because these were the foundations of all the
possessions which then they took, and peaceably possessed in
succeeding ages.
Verse 6. Toward the sun - The midland sea, towards the west.
Verse 7. To Jericho - Not to the city of Jericho, which belonged to
Benjamin's lot, chap. xviii, 21, but to its territory.
Verse 9. The separate cities - That is, besides those cities which were
within Ephraim's bounds, he had some other cities, to which all of
all their territories were annexed out Manasseh's portion, because
his tribe was all here, and was larger than Manasseh's.
