And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

Verse 9 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.

darnach kommt sie herab zum Bach Kana zur Mittagsseite des Bachs, die Städte daselbst sind Ephraims unter den Städten Manasses; die Grenze Manasses aber geht weiter an der Mitternachtseite des Baches und endet am Meer.
Y desciende este término al arroyo de Cana, hacia el mediodía del arroyo. Estas ciudades de Ephraim están entre las ciudades de Manasés: y el término de Manasés es desde el norte del mismo arroyo, y sus salidas son a la mar.
El límite bajaba al torrente de Caná, al sur del torrente. Estas ciudades pertenecían a Efraín, en medio de las ciudades de Manasés; el límite de Manasés estaba al norte del torrente y terminaba en el mar.
La limite descendait au torrent de Kana, au midi du torrent. Ces villes étaient à Ephraïm, au milieu des villes de Manassé. La limite de Manassé au nord du torrent aboutissait à la mer.
Poi quel confine scendeva alla Valle delle canne; le città dal lato meridionale di detta valle furono di Efraim, per mezzo le città di Manasse; ma il confine di Manasse fu dal Settentrione di essa valle, e faceva capo al mare.
Então descia este termo ao ribeiro de Caná. A Efraim couberam as cidades ao sul do ribeiro, entre as cidades de Manassés; e o termo de Manassés estava ao norte do ribeiro, indo terminar no mar.
這地界從那裏下到 加拿河 。河南邊的城鎮雖然在 瑪拿西 境內,卻是屬於 以法蓮 的。 瑪拿西 的地界是在河的北邊直通到海為止。
