7 And the border of Manasseh ¹ran from Asher to Michmethath which was east of Shechem; then the border went ²southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but ^aTappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim. 9 And the ^aborder went down to the ¹brook of Kanah, southward of the ¹brook (these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the ¹brook, and ²it ended at the sea. 10 The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh, and the sea was ¹their border; and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east. 11 And in Issachar and in Asher, ^aManasseh had Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, the third is ^bNapheth. 12 ^aBut the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land. 13 Now it happened that when the sons of Israel became strong, ^athey put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not dispossess them completely.
