12  The Canaanites not driven out.
14  The children of Joseph obtain another lot.

- The Lord commanded.
   * Nu 27:6,7 Ga 3:28


VERSE 5 
 - ten portions.
  As there were six sons and five daughters, among whom this
  division was to be made, there should be eleven portions: but
  Zelophehad, son of Hepher, having left five daughters in his
  place, neither he nor Hepher is reckoned.  The lot of Manasseh
  therefore was divided into ten parts; five for the five sons
  of Gilead, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, and Shemida; and
  five for the five daughters of Zelophehad, Mahlah, Noah,
  Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

VERSE 6


VERSE 7 
 - Asher.
  Eusebius says this was a town in his time not far from
  Neapolis, towards Scythopolis or Bethshan; between which towns
  it is also placed by the old Jerusalem Itinerary.

- Michmethah.
  Situated, probably, east of Shechem, though its precise
  situation, as well as that of many others, cannot, at this
  distance of time, be ascertained.  Many of these towns were
  small, and we may rationally conclude, slightly built; and
  consequently have perished more than two thousand years ago.
  It would therefore be useless now to look for such places;
  though in many instances, their ancient names have been
  preserved, and their sites identified.  Several towns even in
  England, mentioned by C'sar and other ancient writers, are no
  longer discernible; several have changed their names, and not
  a few their situation.

   * Jos 16:6-8

  The brook Kanah seem to be what is now called Nahr el Kasab,
  which falls into the Mediterranean a few miles south of
  C'sarea of Palestine, mentioned by the Hon. C. L. Irby, and J.
  Mangles.

- the out-goings.
   * Jos 16:3,8; 19:29
- the sea.  The Mediterranean.

VERSE 11 
 - Manasseh.
   * Jos 16:9 1Ch 7:29
  Beth-shean, the Scythopolis of the Greek and Roman writers,
  was situated in the plain of Jordan, west of that river, 120
  furlongs (south) from Tiberias, according to Josephus, and 600
  furlongs (north) from Jerusalem.  (2 Mac 29 12:29.)  It was the
  largest city of the Decapolis, and the only one on that side
  of Jordan.  It is now called Bisan, 8 hours or 24 miles from
  Tiberias; and described by Dr. Richardson, exclusive of its
  ruins, as a "collection of miserable hovels, containing 200
  inhabitants."

- Beth-shan.
   * 1Ki 4:12

   * 2Ki 9:27 1Ch 6:70

  Dor, according to Eusebius, was situated on the Mediterranean,
  nine miles from C'sarea Palestine, towards Carmel.  The
  village of Tortura, four leagues north of C'sarea, is supposed
  to nearly occupy it site.
