Exegesis
The prepositional expression limnasheh {לִמְנַשֶּׁ֜ה | li·mə·naš·šé} ‘to Manasseh’ marks tribal possession, followed by parallel locative phrases beyissakhar {בְּיִשָּׂשכָ֣ר | bə·yi·ssā·šə·khar} ‘in Issachar’ and uveasher {וּבְאָשֵׁ֗ר | ū·ḇə·ʾā·šēr} ‘and in Asher’.
In context — Joshua 17:11
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth Shean and its towns , Yibleam and its towns, the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of En-Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns—these are the three regions of Naphath.
