יהושע, פרק י״ט, פסוק כ״ג

The division of the Promised Land involved the careful mapping of borders and the assignment of specific cities to each group. With their boundaries and settlements fully detailed, the formal allocation of land for the tribe of Issachar comes to a close.

Geographically, this newly established territory sits in a specific relationship to its neighbors. The designated inheritance for Issachar is positioned directly to the northeast of the borders belonging to the tribe of Manasseh [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
