Et tout joignant les confins de Nephthali, depuis le canton qui regarde vers l'Orient, jusqu'au canton qui regarde vers l'Occident, il y aura une [autre portion pour] Manassé.
Sur la frontière de Nephthali, de l'Est à l'Ouest, la part de Manassé;
Sur la limite de Nephthali, de l'orient à l'occident: Manassé, une tribu.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
by the border: In this division of the Holy Land, a portion is laid out for each of the twelve tribes directly across the country, from east to west; and deducting the square of 25,000 reeds, or nearly fifty miles on each side, between Judah and Benjamin, for the priests, Levites, city, and temple, with the inheritance of the prince to the east and west - See note on Ezekiel 45:1, from 280 miles, the length of the country from north to south, there will remain for each tribe a portion of less than twenty miles in width, and 150 in length. This division of the land entirely differs from that which was made in the days of Joshua, in which the tribes were not only differently placed, but confused and inter-mixed; while here distinct lots are assigned to each of the twelve tribes, in a regular mathematical form. Literally such a division never took place: it seems to denote the equality of privileges which subsists among all the tribes of Believers, of whatever nation, and whatever their previous character may have been.
Manasseh: Genesis 30:22-24, Genesis 41:51, Genesis 48:5, Genesis 48:14-20, Joshua 13:29-31, Joshua 17:1-11
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 47:13 - Joseph
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh. Just in like manner, next to Naphtali lay the tribe of Manasseh, and the portion of land appointed for that tribe; even such Christians who "forget" the things that are behind, and reach to those that are before; forget their former companions, their own people, and father's house, their carnal lusts and pleasures, and their own works of righteousness, and follow after Christ and his righteousness.
