Joshua 17:10

They met together. In view of the description of the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh in which Manasseh lies north of Ephraim across the length of Ephraim’s territory, the antecedent of “they” seems somewhat obscure. But in view of the previous description and the further statements in the 11th verse, it is probable that the “they” refers to the Manassites. Then the sentence would read, “and they [that is, the Manassites] border on Asher to the north, and on Issachar to the east.” According to ch. 19:26, the tribe of Asher extended southward as far as Mt. Carmel, and the tribe of Manasseh extended to Dor and her towns (see v. 11), which were in the vicinity of Carmel. Thus it appears that these two tribes formed a junction at the Mediterranean Sea.
