SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:1–17:18 The clans of Ephraim and Manasseh received their land

This section describes the boundaries of the land given to Ephraim and to Manasseh, and the towns within each of their lands.

17:7a

Now the border of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethath near Shechem,

¶ The territory of Manasseh went from the border of Asher’s land to the town of Michmethah east of Shechem town.
¶ Manasseh’s land bordered on the clan of Asher’s land in the northwest and reached to the town of Michmethath in the south to the east of Shechem town.

Now the border of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethath near Shechem: The term Asher refers to the clan of Asher. Their land was northwest of the land belonging to the clan of Manasseh.

Michmethath: The town of Michmethath was on the northern border of Ephraim, near the town of Shechem. The exact location is unknown. This town was mentioned in Joshua 16:6b.

Shechem: The town of Shechem was in the territory assigned to Ephraim.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Manasseh’s land bordered on the clan of Asher’s land in the northwest, and reached to the town of Michmethath in the south. Michmethath was east of Shechem town

The territory of the clan of Manasseh went from the border of Asher’s land in the northwest to the town of Michmethath which was east of Shechem

17:7b

then southward to include the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

Then the border went south to the people who lived near En-tappuah.
The border then continued southward. The people who lived near the spring of Tappuah were within the border.

then southward to include the inhabitants of En-tappuah: The town of Tappuah was mentioned in Joshua 16:8. The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as En-tappuah can also be translated as “the spring of Tappuah.” The inhabitants of En-tappuah lived in the area near Tappuah spring, which was outside the town of Tappuah.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Then the border went south to the people who lived near the spring of Tappuah

The border then continued south. It went past the people who lived near the spring of Tappuah

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֣י שְׁכֶ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was border_of Mənashsheh from,Asher (the),Micmethath which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of Shekem and,it_goes the,border to/towards the,south to/towards inhabitants_of ˊĒyn- -tappuah )

The author is using the term face by association to mean the area in front of something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [which is next to Shechem] or [which is before Shechem]
