King James Version
Now
this
was the
allotment
for the tribe of Manasseh as
Joseph’s
firstborn son
, namely
for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh and
father of the
Gileadites,
who
had
received
Gilead and
Bashan
because Machir
was a man of war.
There
was also
a
lot
for the tribe of Manasseh ;
for
he
was
the
firstborn of
Joseph;
to
wit
, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh ,
the
father of Gilead :
because he
was a man of war ,
therefore
he
had
Gilead
and
Bashan
.
So
this
allotment
was for the rest of the descendants
of Manasseh —
the clans
of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida .
These are
the other
male descendants
of
the
clans
of Manasseh son of Joseph.
There
was also
a
lot
for the rest of the children
of Manasseh by
their
families;
for
the children
of Abiezer, and
for
the
children
of
Helek, and
for
the
children
of
Asriel, and
for
the
children
of
Shechem, and
for
the
children
of
Hepher, and for
the
children
of
Shemida :
these were
the male children
of Manasseh the
son of Joseph by
their
families
.
But Zelophehad son of Hepher (
the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh )
had no sons but only
daughters .
These are the names of his daughters :
Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
But Zelophehad ,
the
son of Hepher ,
the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh ,
had no sons ,
but daughters :
and
these are the names of his daughters ,
Mahlah, and
Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
They approached
Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders
, and
said
, “
The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers
. ”
So
Joshua
gave them an inheritance among their
father’s
brothers,
in
keeping
with
the command
of the
LORD
.
And
they came
near
before
Eleazar the priest, and
before
Joshua the
son of Nun, and before
the princes
, saying
, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren
. Therefore
according
to
the
commandment
of
the
LORD
he
gave them an inheritance among the brethren
of their
father
.
Thus
ten
shares
fell to Manasseh, in
addition
to
the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond
the Jordan ,
And
there
fell ten
portions
to Manasseh, beside
the land of Gilead and Bashan ,
which
were
on
the other
side
Jordan ;
because the daughters of Manasseh received
an inheritance among his sons .
And the land
of
Gilead
belonged
to
the
rest of the
sons of Manasseh
.
Because the daughters of Manasseh had
an inheritance among his sons :
and the rest of Manasseh's
sons had
the
land
of Gilead
.
Now
the border
of Manasseh went
from Asher to Michmethath
near
Shechem
, then
southward
to
include
the inhabitants of En-tappuah
.
And
the coast
of Manasseh was
from Asher to Michmethah
, that
lieth
before
Shechem;
and
the border
went
along
on
the
right
hand
unto
the
inhabitants of Entappuah
.
The region
of Tappuah belonged
to
Manasseh,
but Tappuah itself,
on the border of Manasseh ,
belonged to Ephraim .
Now
Manasseh
had
the land
of Tappuah :
but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the
children
of
Ephraim ;
From
there
the border
continued
southward
to
the Brook
of
Kanah .
There
were
cities belonging
to
Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh ,
but
the border
of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook
and ended
at the Sea .
And
the coast
descended
unto
the river
Kanah ,
southward
of
the
river:
these
cities of
Ephraim are
among the cities of Manasseh :
the coast
of Manasseh also
was on the north side of the river,
and the
outgoings
of
it
were
at the sea :
Ephraim’s
territory
was to
the
south
, and Manasseh’s
was to
the
north
, having
the Sea as
its
border and adjoining
Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.
Southward
it
was Ephraim's
, and northward
it
was Manasseh's
, and
the sea is
his
border ;
and they
met
together
in
Asher on the north ,
and in
Issachar on the east.
Within
Issachar and Asher ,
Manasseh
was
assigned
Beth-shean
, Ibleam, Dor (that
is,
Naphath)
, Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, each
with
their
surrounding
settlements
.
And
Manasseh
had
in
Issachar and in
Asher Bethshean
and
her
towns
, and
Ibleam and
her
towns
, and
the
inhabitants
of
Dor and
her
towns
, and
the
inhabitants
of
Endor and
her
towns
, and
the
inhabitants
of
Taanach and
her
towns
, and the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo and
her
towns
, even
three
countries
.
But
the descendants
of Manasseh were
unable
to
occupy
these
cities ,
because
the Canaanites were
determined
to
stay
in this
land.
Yet
the children
of Manasseh could
not
drive
out
the
inhabitants
of
those
cities ;
but
the Canaanites would
dwell
in that
land.
However
, when the Israelites
grew
stronger
, they put the Canaanites to forced
labor;
but they
failed
to
drive them out completely
.
Yet
it
came
to
pass
, when the children
of
Israel
were
waxen
strong
, that
they put the Canaanites to tribute,
but did
not
utterly
drive them out.
Then
the sons
of Joseph said
to
Joshua, “
Why have
you
given us
only
one portion as
an
inheritance?
We
have
many
people, because
the LORD has
blessed us
abundantly.”
And
the children
of Joseph spake
unto
Joshua, saying,
Why hast
thou
given me
but
one lot
and
one
portion to
inherit,
seeing
I
am
a
great
people, forasmuch
as
the LORD hath
blessed me
hitherto?
Joshua answered them, “
If you
have
so
many
people that
the
hill
country
of
Ephraim
is
too
small
for
you
, go
to the forest
and clear
for yourself
an
area
in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim
. ”
And
Joshua answered them, If thou
be
a
great
people, then
get
thee
up
to the wood
country,
and cut
down
for thyself
there
in the land of the Perizzites and of
the giants,
if
mount
Ephraim
be
too
narrow
for
thee
.
“
The hill country
is not enough for us ,”
they
replied,
“
and all the Canaanites who
live
in the valley have iron
chariots, both in
Beth-shean
with
its
towns and in
the Valley of Jezreel. ”
And
the children
of
Joseph
said,
The
hill is not enough for us :
and all the Canaanites that
dwell
in the land
of
the
valley have chariots of
iron
, both they
who
are
of
Bethshean
and
her
towns ,
and they
who
are
of
the valley of Jezreel.
So
Joshua said
to
the house of Joseph —
to Ephraim and Manasseh —“You
have
many
people and great strength.
You
shall
not have just
one allotment,
And
Joshua spake
unto
the house of Joseph ,
even
to Ephraim and to
Manasseh ,
saying,
Thou
art
a
great
people ,
and hast
great power:
thou
shalt
not have one lot
only:
because
the hill
country
will
be yours
as
well.
It is a forest;
clear
it
, and its
farthest
limits
will
be yours.
Although
the Canaanites have iron chariots and although
they are
strong ,
you
can
drive
them
out
. ”
But
the mountain
shall
be thine;
for
it is a wood
, and thou
shalt
cut
it
down:
and
the
outgoings
of
it
shall
be thine:
for
thou
shalt
drive
out
the Canaanites ,
though
they
have iron chariots ,
and though
they be
strong.
