[
This ]
was the lot
for the tribe of Manasseh ;
for
he
was
the
firstborn
of
Joseph.
As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh ,
the
father of Gilead
, because he
was a man of war ,
therefore
he
had
Gilead
and
Bashan
.
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.
So [the
lot]
was for the rest of the children
of Manasseh according
to
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 according
to
their
families
.
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.
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.
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.
They came
near
before
Eleazar the priest, and
before
Joshua the
son of Nun, and before
the princes
, saying
, Yahweh
commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers :
therefore
according
to
the
commandment
of
Yahweh
he
gave them an inheritance among the
brothers of their
father
.
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
.
There
fell
ten parts
to Manasseh, besides
the land of Gilead and Bashan ,
which
is
beyond the Jordan ;
Thus
ten shares
fell
to Manasseh, in
addition
to
the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan ,
because the daughters of Manasseh had
an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
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.
The border of Manasseh was
from Asher to Michmethath ,
which
is
before
Shechem ;
and
the
border
went
along
to
the
right
hand
, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
Now
the border of Manasseh went
from Asher to Michmethath near
Shechem, then
southward
to include
the inhabitants of En -
tappuah.
The land
of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh ;
but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the
children
of
Ephraim.
The region
of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh ,
but Tappuah itself,
on the border of Manasseh ,
belonged to Ephraim.
The border went
down
to the brook of Kanah ,
southward
of
the
brook:
these
cities belonged
to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh :
and
the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook ,
and the
goings
out
of
it
were
at the sea :
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 .
southward
it
was Ephraim's
, and northward
it
was Manasseh's
, and
the sea was
his
border ;
and they
reached
to
Asher on the north ,
and to
Issachar on the east.
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.
Manasseh
had
in
Issachar and in
Asher 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
, even
the
three
heights
.
Within
Issachar and Asher ,
Manasseh
was
assigned
Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor (that
is
, Naphath)
, Endor,
Taanach, and Megiddo, each
with
their
surrounding
settlements
.
Yet
the children
of Manasseh couldn't
drive
out
[the
inhabitants
of]
those
cities ;
but
the Canaanites would
dwell
in that
land.
But
the descendants
of Manasseh were
unable
to
occupy
these
cities ,
because
the Canaanites were
determined
to
stay
in this
land.
It
happened
, when the children
of
Israel
had
grown
strong
, that
they put the Canaanites to forced labor ,
and
didn't
utterly
drive them out.
However
, when the Israelites
grew
stronger
, they put the Canaanites to forced labor ;
but
they
failed
to
drive them out completely
.
The children
of Joseph spoke
to Joshua, saying,
Why have you given me
but
one
lot
and
one part
for
an inheritance ,
seeing
I
am
a
great
people, because hitherto
Yahweh
has blessed me?
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.”
Joshua said
to
them, If you are
a
great
people, go up
to the forest ,
and cut
down
for yourself there
in the land of the Perizzites and of
the Rephaim ;
since
the
hill-country
of
Ephraim
is
too
narrow
for
you
.
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. ”
The
children
of
Joseph
said,
The hill -
country is not enough for us :
and all the Canaanites who dwell
in the land
of
the
valley have chariots
of
iron, both they
who
are
in Beth-shean and
its towns ,
and they
who
are
in the valley of Jezreel.
“
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. ”
Joshua spoke
to the house of Joseph ,
even
to Ephraim and to
Manasseh ,
saying,
You are
a
great
people ,
and have
great power;
you shall not have one lot
only:
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,
but
the hill -
country shall
be yours ;
for
though
it is a forest ,
you
shall
cut
it down
, and the
goings
out
of
it
shall
be yours ;
for
you
shall
drive
out
the Canaanites ,
though
they
have chariots
of
iron ,
and though
they are strong.
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
. ”
