[Knitting A Conundrum]

I don't have a good enough large enough map of modern Israel to do it right.

I do believe that Shechem would currently be on the Westbank, although its not a city any longer. It's between Mts. Gershim and Ebal. Succoth is sort of in a straight line across the Jordan river in what would now be Jordan.

Ephraim is used as a name for what would be the kingdom of Israel as apposed to the Kingdom of Judah. Again, a lot of it is now in the West Bank.

Gilead is in Jordan Mannassah is that land that runs in a belt between Tel Aviv to Mt. Carmel, more or less, and to the Jordan, and parts of it are in Jordan and some in Syria. It would include the Golan Heights, up to maybe Mt. Hermon.

Moab and Edom are both in Jordan. Moab is along the SE side of the Dead Sea, while Edom was south of that.

The old Israelite heartland of Ephraim and Samaria are mostly the West Bank nowadays.

Philistia is basically now what is the Gaza Strip.

I don't have a good large enough Israeli map to do justice, so my boundaries are a bit rough,and I can't peg you properly to current placenames.

By partioning out the land from Shechem to Succoth, that's a line that sort of represents the East Bank and West Bank claims of ancient Israel.
