The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
Despite opinions such as that of Jamieson, however, we believe that there were other very important factors that went into Israel's accommodation with the Canaanites.  There is the great possibility, yes, even the CERTAINTY that like Demas of the N.T., "Israel loved this present age."  They simply fell in love with the SUPERIOR culture and the sensuous gods that appealed to the gratification of their lusts.  Thompson tells us that the differences in the Canaanite and the Israelite cultures were "extraordinary."  The towns that Israel destroyed possessed beautiful palaces, magnificent temples, and many evidences of wealth, prosperity, and artistic development.  There was an over-all superiority of the Canaanite towns; their diet was supplemented by the maritime trade through the Philistines with Egypt; whereas the towns with which Israel replaced the ones which they destroyed were far inferior to those burned and looted.  In fact, the whole Israelitish culture was far more primitive and impoverished.[18]
