Joshua 17:9
Reciprocal: Joshua 17:11 - Manasseh
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim,.... The tribe of Ephraim, being much larger than the half tribe of Manasseh, besides the lot that fell to it, described before by its boundaries, had several particular and distinct cities given to it: which
[were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh; some that were upon the borders of Ephraim, and within the territory of Manasseh, and it may be where it jetted out in a nook or corner, see
Joshua 17:8;
all the cities with their villages; not the separate cities only, but the little towns adjacent to them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The verb “were,” introduced by the King James Version in this verse should be omitted; and the full stop after Joshua 16:8 replaced by a colon. The purport of Joshua 16:9 is simply to add to the inheritance of Ephraim, defined by the preceding context, “the separate cities” or more properly “single cities” which were allotted to them in addition within the borders of Manasseh. The reasons for granting these additional cities to the Ephraimites can only be conjectured. Perhaps the territory assigned to this numerous tribe proved on experiment to be too small; and therefore some towns, which are named in 1 Chronicles 7:29, were given to them from the kindred Manassites, the latter being recompensed (Joshua 17:11 note) at the expense of Issachar and Asher.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 16:9. And the separate cities — That is, the cities that were separated from the tribe of Manasseh to be given to Ephraim; see Joshua 17:9.
