SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:7
¶ Y fue el término de Manasés desde Aser hasta Micmetat, la cual está delante de Siquem; y va este término a la mano derecha, a los que habitan en En-Tapúa.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher , etc.] Not from the border of the tribe of Asher, as Kimchi, in which he is followed by Vatablus; for that was at too great a distance; but a city of the tribe of Manasseh; and in Jerom’s time a village of this name was shown fifteen miles from Neapolis or Shechem, as you go from thence to Scythopolis, near the public road: to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem ; the same place mentioned in the description of the border of Ephraim, (see Gill on “ Joshua 16:6”): and the border went along on the right hand, unto the inhabitants of Entappuah ; that is, leaving this place, and its inhabitants to the right, which was a place in the land of that name, next mentioned; and seems to be so called from a fountain in it, or near it, as well as from a multitude of apples growing there, and with which perhaps the country abounded, of which in ( Joshua 17:8).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-13 - There was great communication between Manasseh and Ephraim. Though eac tribe had its inheritance, yet they should intermix one with another to do good offices one to another, as became those, who, though of different tribes, were all one Israel, and were bound to love a brethren. But they suffered the Canaanites to live among them, agains the command of God, to serve their own ends.
