And out of the (i) half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.
(i) Who dwelt in Canaan.

And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with her suburbs,.... Of which see Joshua 17:10,
and Gathrimmon with her suburbs, there was a city of this name in Daniel, as in Joshua 21:24; nor was it unusual for cities to be called by the same name in different tribes:
two cities; these are called Aner and Bilean in 1-Chronicles 6:70; in process of time cities changed their names; two cities were a proper proportion for this half tribe; two more were given out of the other half tribe on the other side Jordan, as appears by what follows.

Half the tribe - Namely, that half which dwelt in Canaan.
