*
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 Gil #
ad #:
because he was a man of war ,
therefore he had Gilead and Bashan .
*
There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families ;
for the children of Abiezer #
Abiy #
ezer #,
and for the children of Helek ,
and for the children of Asriel #
Asriy #
el #,
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 ,
the son of Hepher ,
the son of Gilead Gil #
ad #,
the son of Machir ,
the son of Manasseh ,
had no sons ,
but daughters :
and these are the names of his daughters ,
Mahlah ,
and Noah No #
ah #,
Hoglah ,
Milcah ,
and Tirzah .
*
And they came near before Eleazar #
El #
azar #
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 .
*
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 had an inheritance among his sons :
and the rest of Manassehs sons had the land of Gilead Gil #
ad #.
*
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 #
Eyn .
*
Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah :
but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim ;
*
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 :
*
Southward it was Ephraims ,
and northward it was Manassehs ,
and the sea is his border ;
and they met together in Asher on the north ,
and in Issachar on the east .
*
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean Beythand her towns ,
and Ibleam and her towns ,
and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns ,
and the inhabitants of Endor #
Eyn-Do #
r #
and her towns ,
and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns ,
and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns ,
even three countries .
*
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities ;
but the Canaanites would dwell in that land .
*
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 .
