Berean Standard Bible
And
the lot
is
for the tribe of Manasseh (for
he
`is'
first-born
of
Joseph)
, for Machir first-born
of Manasseh ,
father of Gilead
, for
he
hath
been
a man of war ,
and
his
are
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.
And
there
is
for the sons
of Manasseh who
are
left,
for
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 `
are '
the children
of Manasseh son of Joseph --
the
males
--
by
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.
As
to
Zelophehad ,
son of Hepher ,
son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh ,
he
hath
no children
except
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 .
and
they draw
near
before
Eleazar the priest, and
before
Joshua son of Nun, and before
the princes
, saying
, `Jehovah
commanded Moses to give to
us an inheritance in
the
midst
of
our brethren;'
and
he
giveth
to
them ,
at
the
command
of
Jehovah,
an inheritance in the midst
of the brethren
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
.
And
ten portions
fall
`
to '
Manasseh, apart
from
the land of Gilead and Bashan ,
which
`are'
beyond the Jordan ;
Thus
ten shares
fell
to Manasseh, in
addition
to
the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan ,
for
the daughters of Manasseh have
inherited
an inheritance in
the
midst
of
his sons ,
and the land of Gilead hath
been
to the sons of Manasseh who
are
left
.
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.
And
the border of Manasseh is
from Asher to Michmethah,
which
`is'
on
the
front
of
Shechem, and
the
border
hath
gone
on
unto
the
right,
unto
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.
To
Manasseh
hath
been
the land
of Tappuah, and
Tappuah unto
the border of Manasseh is
to the
sons
of
Ephraim.
The region
of Tappuah belonged
to
Manasseh
, but
Tappuah itself,
on
the border of Manasseh ,
belonged
to Ephraim.
And
the border hath
come
down
`
to '
the brook of Kanah ,
southward
of
the
brook;
these
cities of
Ephraim `are'
in
the
midst
of
the cities of Manasseh, and
the border of Manasseh `is'
on the north of the brook ,
and its
outgoings
are
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
`is'
to Ephraim
and northward
to Manasseh
, and
the sea is
his
border ,
and in
Asher they
meet
on the north ,
and in
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.
And
Manasseh
hath
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
, three
counties
.
Within
Issachar and Asher, Manasseh
was
assigned
Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor (that
is
, Naphath)
, Endor,
Taanach, and Megiddo, each
with
their
surrounding
settlements
.
And
the sons
of Manasseh have
not
been
able
to occupy these cities, and
the Canaanite
is
desirous
to dwell
in this land ,
But
the descendants
of Manasseh were
unable
to occupy these cities, because
the Canaanites
were
determined
to stay
in this land .
and
it
cometh
to
pass
when the sons
of
Israel
have
been
strong
, that
they put the Canaanite
to tribute,
and
have
not
utterly
dispossessed
him
.
However,
when the Israelites
grew
stronger
, they put the Canaanites
to forced
labor;
but
they
failed
to
drive
them
out
completely
.
And
the sons of Joseph speak
with
Joshua, saying,
`Wherefore
hast
thou
given to
me
an
inheritance
--
one
lot
and
one portion ,
and
I
a
numerous
people
? hitherto
hath
Jehovah
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
. ”
And
Joshua saith
unto
them, `
If thou
`art'
a
numerous
people, go up
for
thee
to the forest ,
then
thou
hast
prepared
for thee
there,
in the land of the Perizzite,
and of
the Rephaim ,
when
mount
Ephraim
hath
been
narrow
for
thee
. '
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
the
sons
of
Joseph
say,
`
The hill is not found
to
us, and a
chariot
of
iron
`is'
with
every
Canaanite
who is
dwelling
in the land
of
the
valley --
to
him
who
`is'
in Beth-Shean and
its towns ,
and to
him
who
`is'
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. ”
And
Joshua speaketh
unto
the house of Joseph ,
to Ephraim and to
Manasseh ,
saying,
`Thou
`art'
a
numerous
people ,
and hast
great power;
thou
hast
not 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
,
because the mountain
is
thine;
because
it `
is '
a forest --
thou
hast
prepared
it, and its outgoings
have
been
thine;
because
thou
dost
dispossess
the Canaanite,
though
it
hath
chariots
of
iron --
though
it
`is'
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
. ”
