7 So then the boundary of Manasseh was from Asher, Michmethath, which faceth Shechem, - and the boundary goeth along unto the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 8 Manasseh, had the land of Tappuah, - but, Tappuah itself, towards the boundary of Manasseh, pertained unto the sons of Ephraim; 9 and the boundary goeth down to the ravine of Kanah, southward of the ravine, these cities, belong to Ephraim, in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, - but, the boundary of Manasseh, was on the north side of the ravine, and the extensions thereof were to the sea; 10 southward, pertaineth to Ephraim, and, northward, to Manasseh, and the sea was the boundary thereof, - and they touch, Asher, on the north, and Issachar on the east. 11 And Manasseh had - in Issachar and in Asher - Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns - the three heights, 12 The sons of Manasseh, however, could not dispossess these cities, - but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land; 13 but, when the sons of Israel had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute, - though they, dispossessed, them not.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's,.... 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Southward - i. e. of the river Kanah.
Render, âthey (i. e. the two kindred tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the northern border being treated here as common to the two) reached unto Asher.â (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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 17:10. They met together in Asher on the north — The tribe of Asher extended from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Carmel, Joshua 19:26, and the tribe of Manasseh extended to Dor and her towns, (see the following verse Joshua 17:11), which were in the vicinity of Carmel; and thus it appears that these two tribes formed a junction at the Mediterranean Sea. This may serve to remove the difficulties in this verse; but still it does appear that in several cases the tribes were intermingled; for Manasseh had several towns, both in Issachar and in Asher, see Joshua 17:11. In like manner, Judah had towns in Dan and Simeon; and Simeon had towns in Judah; and what is spoken of the boundaries of the tribes, may be sometimes understood of those towns which certain tribes had within the limits of others. For, in several cases, towns seem to be interchanged, or purchased, by mutual consent, so that in some instances the possessions were intermingled, without any confusion of the tribes or families.
