The lot of Manasseh7. His coast 12. The Canaanites not driven out 14. The children of Joseph obtain another lot Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was assigned The tribe of Manasseh, one of the sons of Joseph, received a portion of land on both sides of the Jordan River. This allocation within the territories of Issachar and Asher highlights the complex nature of tribal boundaries in ancient Israel. The division of land was a fulfillment of God's promise to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The presence of Manasseh in these regions indicates the tribe's significant influence and the fulfillment of Jacob's blessing in Genesis 48:19, where Ephraim and Manasseh are promised to become great peoples.

Issachar's territory was located in the central part of the land, while Asher's was in the northwest. 3. Beth-shean A city in the territory of Manasseh, known for its strategic location and later as a significant city in the time of King Saul and King David. 4. Ibleam A town within the territory of Manasseh, mentioned in the context of battles and territorial disputes. 5. Dor, Endor, Taanach, Megiddo Cities within the territory of Manasseh, each with its historical and strategic significance. Megiddo, in particular, is known for its association with various battles and its prophetic significance in Revelation. Teaching Points Faithfulness in InheritanceThe allocation of land to Manasseh reminds us of God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises. Believers are called to be faithful stewards of the spiritual inheritance they have received in Christ. Spiritual Vigilance The failure to drive out the Canaanites serves as a warning to maintain spiritual vigilance and not allow worldly influences to compromise our faith. Strategic Locations for God's Kingdom Just as these cities were strategically important, believers are placed in specific locations and situations to be a light and influence for God's kingdom. Overcoming Spiritual Battles The historical and prophetic significance of these cities, especially Megiddo, encourages believers to rely on God's strength in spiritual battles, knowing that ultimate victory is assured in Christ.Verse 11. - And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher (see Joshua 16:9). Beth-shean. Afterwards called Scythopolis, now Beisan. It was a "noble city" in the days of Eusebius and Jerome. Many travellers have remarked on its splendid situation, "in this vast area of plain and mountains, in the midst of abundant waters and exuberant fertility" (Robinson, 'Later Bibl. Res.' sec. 7). "Just beyond, and separated by a narrow ridge, is another stream, also perennial, and on the peninsular formed by these two, with a bold, steep brow overlooking the Ghor, stood the citadel of ancient Beth-shean - a sort of Gibraltar on a small scale - of remarkable natural strength, and inaccessible to horsemen. No wonder that it was long ere Israel could wrest it from the Canaanites. The eastern face rises like a steep cone, most incorrectly stated by Robinson to be 'black, and apparently volcanic;' and by Porter, 'probably a crater.' Certainly there are many blocks of basalt lying about, but the hill is simply a limestone bluff." (Tristram, 'Land of Israel,' p. 501). He goes on, "How clearly the details of the sad end of Saul were recalled as we stood on this spot" (the summit of the cone). "There was the slope of Gilboa, on which his army was encamped before the battle. Round that hill he slunk by night, conscience stricken, to visit the witch of Endor. Hither, as being a Canaanitish fortress, the Philistines most naturally brought the trophies of the royal slain, and hung them up just by this wall. By the Yasir, and across that plain below us, the gallant men of Jabesh-Gilead hurried on their long night's march to stop the indignity offered to Israel, and to take down the bodies of their king and his sons." Jabesh-Gilead was not far off, and though in full view of the mountain, yet the men of Jabesh could creep along the Ghor by night and climb the steep face of the rock unsuspected by the warriors above; while the roar of the brook would drown all the sounds they might make (see Thomson, 'Land and the Book,' p. 454). And her towns. Literally, daughters, κῶμαι LXX.; viculi, Vulgate. Canon Tristram remarks how each hill in some parts of Palestine is crowned by a village, a number of which still cluster, as of old, round the chief city of the district. So in Italy we may see how times of unsettlement led to a similar policy. The fear of the northern pirates led to the planting the mediaeval towns on hills, and the disturbed state of the country kept them there till a comparatively late period. But many of them are deserted in this more peaceful age. Ibleam. Only known as near the place where Jehu gave Ahaziah his death blow. It was near Megiddo (see 2 Kings 9:27). Dor (see above Joshua 11:2). Keil thinks that Dor and all the cities after it are in the accusative to "could not drive out" in the next verse. But it is more probable that את was an anacolouthon. Vandevelde ('Travels,' 1:333) says that he did not wonder that the fainthearted Manassites shrank from attacking Dor when he saw its formidable position, ruder. This, the abode of the famous witch, still bears the old name. It is four miles south of Mount Tabor, in a country honeycombed with caves, and it stands on the shoulder of Little Hermon. The word signifies the "fount of Dor," or "the dwelling." Taanach. For this and Megiddo see Joshua 12:21. Three countries. Rather, three hills, or elevated spots (Napheth, see note, ch. 11:2). Gesenius compares the name Temont. The reference is to Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo. Keil suggests province, but he does not explain how a derivative of נוּפ can have this latter signification (cf. Psalm 48:3. Beautiful for its height (נופ) is Mount Zion). The LXX. and Vulgate regard it as a proper name, and translate, "the third part of Nopheth." They are puzzled by the expression here, as in Joshua 11:2. Parallel Commentaries ...
