Joshua 17:10

“Southward [it was] Ephraim’s, and northward [it was] Manasseh’s, etc.] As Ephraim lay to the south of Manasseh, Manasseh lay to the north of Ephraim: and the sea is his border; the Mediterranean sea was their boundary on the west: and they met together in Asher on the north; that is, on the northwest towards the Mediterranean sea, as, at Mount Carmel: and in Issachar on the east; towards Jordan.”

“Southward - i. e. of the river Kanah. Render, “they (i. e. the two kindred tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the northern border being treated here as common to the two) reached unto Asher.” (See the map.) The northern border is only indicated in general terms, perhaps because the Israelites were not yet completely masters of this part of the country, and so had not precisely determined it. return to 'Top of Page'”

“His border - Manasseh's, whose portion is here described, and whose name was last mentioned. In Asher - That is, upon the tribe of Asher; for though Zebulon came between Asher and them for the greatest part of their land; yet it seems there was some necks of land, both of Ephraim's and of Manasseh's, which jutted out farther than the rest, and touched the borders of Asher. And it is certain there were many such incursions of the land of one tribe upon some parcels of another, although they were otherwise considerably distant one from the other. Joshua 17:11”
