Territory of Manasseh1 Now [this] was the lot° for the tribe° of aManasseh°, for he was the firstborn° of Joseph°. To Machir° the firstborn° of Manasseh°, the father° of Gilead°, Iwere allotted° Gilead° and Bashan°, because° he was a man° of war°. 2 So [the lot] was [made] for the rest° of the sons° of Manasseh° according to their families°: for the sons° of Abiezer° and for the sons° of Helek° and for the sons° of Asriel° and for the sons° of Shechem° and for the sons° of Hepher° and for the sons° of Shemida°; these° [were] the male° Idescendants° of Manasseh° the son° of Joseph° according to their families°. 3 ¶ However, aZelophehad°, the son° of Hepher°, the son° of Gilead°, the son° of Machir°, the son° of Manasseh°, had° no° sons°, only°° daughters°; and these° are the names° of his daughters°: Mahlah° and Noah°, Hoglah°, Milcah° and Tirzah°. 4 They came° near° before° Eleazar° the priest° and before° Joshua° the son° of Nun° and before° the leaders°, saying°, “The LORD° commanded° Moses° to give° us an inheritance° among° our brothers°.” So aaccording° to the Icommand° of the LORD° he gave° them an inheritance° among° their father’s° brothers°. 5 Thus there fell° ten° portions° to Manasseh°, besides°° the land° of Gilead° and Bashan°, which° is beyond°° the Jordan°, 6 because° the daughters° of Manasseh° received° an inheritance° among° his sons°. And the aland° of Gilead° belonged° to the rest° of the sons° of Manasseh°. 7 ¶ The border° of Manasseh° Iran° from Asher° to Michmethath° which° was east°° of Shechem°; then the border° went° IIsouthward° to the inhabitants° of En-tappuah°. 8 The land° of Tappuah° belonged° to Manasseh°, but aTappuah° on the border° of Manasseh° [belonged] to the sons° of Ephraim°. 9 The aborder° went° down° to the Ibrook° of Kanah°, southward° of the Ibrook° (these° cities° [belonged] to Ephraim° among° the cities° of Manasseh°), and the border° of Manasseh° [was] on the north° side° of the Ibrook° and IIit ended°° at the sea°. 10 The south° side° [belonged] to Ephraim° and the north° side° to Manasseh°, and the sea° was Itheir border°; and they reached° to Asher° on the north° and to Issachar° on the east°. 11 In Issachar° and in Asher°, aManasseh° had° Beth-shean° and its towns° and Ibleam° and its towns°, and the inhabitants° of Dor° and its towns°, and the inhabitants° of En-dor° and its towns°, and the inhabitants° of Taanach° and its towns°, and the inhabitants° of Megiddo° and its towns°, the third° is bNapheth°. 12 aBut the sons° of Manasseh° could° not take° possession° of these° cities°, because the Canaanites° persisted° in living° in that land°. 13 It came° about when° the sons° of Israel° became° strong°, athey put° the Canaanites° to forced° labor°, but they did not Idrive° them out completely°.

The lot of Manasseh.1 ¶ There was² also a lotº for the tribeº of Manasseh;º for² he² [was] the firstbornº of Joseph;º [to wit], for Machirº the firstbornº of Manasseh,º the fatherº of Gilead:º because² he² was² a manº of war,º therefore he had² Gileadº and Bashan.º 2 There was² also [a lot] for the restºª of the childrenº of Manassehº by their families;º for the childrenº of Abiezer,º and for the childrenº of Helek,º and for the childrenº of Asriel,º and for the childrenº of Shechem,º and for the childrenº of Hepher,º and for the childrenº of Shemida:º these² [were] the maleº childrenº of Manassehº the sonº of Josephº by their families.º [1] Gn 41:51; 46:20; 48:18; 50:23; Nu 26:29; 27:1; 32:33, 39, 40; Dt 3:13; 21:17; Jg 5:14; 1Ch 2:23; 7:14.
