The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh ,

The border went down to the brook of Kanah ,
southward of the brook (
these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh ),
and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and it ended at the sea .

Joshua:13:10 @
The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh ,
and the sea was their border ;
and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east .

Joshua:13:11 @
In Issachar and in Asher ,
Manasseh had Beth-shean and its towns and Ibleam and its towns ,
and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns ,
and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns ,
and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns ,
and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns ,
the third is Napheth .

But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities ,
because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land .

It came about when the sons of Israel became strong ,
they put the Canaanites to forced labor ,
but they did not drive them out completely .

Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua ,
saying , "
Why have you given me only one lot and one portion for an inheritance ,
since I am a numerous people whom the LORD has thus far blessed ?"

Joshua:13:15 @
Joshua said to them , "
If you are a numerous people ,
go up to the forest and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim ,
since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you ."

Joshua:13:16 @
The sons of Joseph said , "
The hill country is not enough for us ,
and all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have chariots of iron ,
both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns and those who are in the valley of Jezreel ."

Joshua:13:17 @
Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph ,
to Ephraim and Manasseh ,
saying , "
You are a numerous people and have great power ;
you shall not have one lot only ,
nasb @
Joshua:13:18 @
but the hill country shall be yours .
For though it is a forest ,
you shall clear it ,
and to its farthest borders it shall be yours ;
for you shall drive out the Canaanites ,
even though they have chariots of iron and though they are strong ."
