Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

These cities ... - The text is possibly corrupt. The intention seems to be to state that the cities lying south of the river, though within the limits of Manasseh, were in fact made over to Ephraim, and were among the “separate cities” Jos 16:9. On the contrary, the north bank of the river, both land and towns, belonged to Manasseh exclusively.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Thus the river was in the territory of Manasseh; but the cities which were upon the river, though all were within the limits of Manasseh's possessions, were assigned partly to Ephraim, and partly to Manasseh; those on the south side being given to the former; those upon the north to the latter [KEIL].

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
