And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 17 of Joshua. The boundaries of Manasseh are described along with the cities it receives. However, the inhabitants of several towns are not completely expelled. The Israelites subject some of them to forced labor. The passage again shows the difference between territorial assignment and full occupation. The continued presence of Canaanite populations within tribal territories anticipates religious and social difficulties that will appear in Israel’s later history.

Und die Grenze Manasses war von Asser gen Michmethath, das vor Sichem liegt, und reicht zur Rechten an die von En-Thappuah;
Y fue el término de Manasés desde Aser hasta Michmetat, la cual está delante de Sichêm; y va este término a la mano derecha, a los que habitan en Tappua.
El límite de Manasés iba desde Aser hasta Micmetat, que está frente a Siquem; el límite seguía hacia el sur, hasta los habitantes de En-tapúa.
La limite de Manassé s'étendait d'Aser à Micmethath, qui est près de Sichem, et allait à Jamin vers les habitants d'En-Tappuach.
E il confine di Manasse, dal lato di Aser, fu Micmetat, che è dirimpetto a Sichem; poi questo confine andava a man destra verso gli abitanti di Entappua.
E o termo de Manassés foi desde Aser até Micmetá, que está defronte de Siquém; e estende-se este termo à direita até os moradores de En-Tapua.
