Komentarz do Jozuego 16:6
וְיָצָ֨א הַגְּב֜וּל הַיָּ֗מָּה הַֽמִּכְמְתָת֙ מִצָּפ֔וֹן וְנָסַ֧ב הַגְּב֛וּל מִזְרָ֖חָה תַּאֲנַ֣ת שִׁלֹ֑ה וְעָבַ֣ר אוֹת֔וֹ מִמִּזְרַ֖ח יָנֽוֹחָה׃
Poczem ciągnie się granica aż do morza. Na północy był granicznym punktem Michmethath; zwraca się mianowicie granica ku wschodowi do Taanath Szylo zabiegając mimo niego ku wschodowi od Janocha.
Rashi on Joshua
The boundary then went out westward. Its length was westward to Michmesos; the boundary line continued north of Michmesos.

The boundary turned. The width of the border spread northward, and the border-line bulged outward to the east of Taanis-Shiloh.2See chapter 18:11. Even though in verse 4, Menashe is mentioned before Ephraim, the portion of Ephraim is described first in verse 5. Verse 4 mentions them in the order of their birth and Menashe was the oldest, but when Yaakov blessed them, he placed Ephraim first, because he knew that Ephraim would be the greater of the two. Therefore when the lots were drawn, the lot of Ephraim came out first.

And passed by it. The boundary passed by Taanis-shiloh,3This refers to Shiloh, where the Mishkan was to be built. This new Mishkan was built with walls of stone and was more permanent than the Mishkan that Moshe built with wooden walls. This Mishkan remained standing in Shiloh for 369 years. In many ways it was similar to the Beis HaMikdash that was built in Yerushalayim. Many of the korbonas were permitted to be sacrificed and eaten in Shiloh, such as: Shelamin, (peace-offerings) Todah, (thanksgiving-offerings) the korban Pesach, (the paschal lamb) and the first-born offerings. Various tithes (maasir) could also be brought to the Mishkan at Shiloh. After the Mishkan at Shiloh was destroyed, the people mourned as they would at the destruction of the Beis Hamikdosh in Yerushalayim. Whenever they passed by its ruins they wood weep and mourn. It was therefore known as Taanis-Shiloh, which implies the mourning of Shiloh. and the boundary line passed east of Yonoach. This was all included in the bulge of the width, which terminated at the Jordan, and there was a city named Tapuach. From there the boundary line turned to the measure of the length of the westward boundary to the brook of Konnoh
