Joshua 16

Joshua 16:1

BY Iericho] See Numb. 22. 1 The water] It might be some particular place called by this name, which is specified, because that the Easterne border of the Ephramites, did not extend it self all along that part of Iordan, which carried the name of Iericho; yea, onely to this place, as it appeareth in the eighteenth chapter of Ioshua, and the twelfth verse. From the bounds of Benjamin, which bordered with Ephraim.

Manasseh] The halfe of this tribe, which had not had its share beyond Iordan.

Joshua 16:5

On the east side] Namely, on the North-east side.

Joshua 16:7

To Jericho] Within the Territories thereof; for otherwise the city of Iericho fell to Benjamins lot, Ioshua the eighteenth chapter, and the one and twentieth verse.
