* 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 .
