Tap'push
(the apple-city).
1. A city of Judah, of the Shefelah or lowland.
2. A place on the boundary of the "children of Joseph."
Its full name was probably En-tappuah.
("Around the city was a district called the land of Tappuah; the city belonged to Ephraim and the land to Manasseh.
--Schaff.)
3. One of the sons of Hebron, of the tribe of Judah.
It is doubtless the same as Beth-tappuah. (B.C. before 1450.)
From Tappuah the border continued westward to the brook of Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,
The border of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath which was east of Shechem; then the border went southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah. The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim.
The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim.
