1
There was also a lot[H1486] for the tribe[H4294] of Manasseh[H4519]; for he was the firstborn[H1060] of Joseph[H3130]; to wit, for Machir[H4353] the firstborn[H1060] of Manasseh[H4519], the father[H1] of Gilead[H1568]: because he was a man[H376] of war[H4421], therefore he had Gilead[H1568] and Bashan[H1316].
2
There was also a lot for the rest[H3498] of the children[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519] by their families[H4940]; for the children[H1121] of Abiezer[H44], and for the children[H1121] of Helek[H2507], and for the children[H1121] of Asriel[H844], and for the children[H1121] of Shechem[H7928], and for the children[H1121] of Hepher[H2660], and for the children[H1121] of Shemida[H8061]: these were the male[H2145]children[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519] the son[H1121] of Joseph[H3130] by their families[H4940].
3
But Zelophehad[H6765], the son[H1121] of Hepher[H2660], the son[H1121] of Gilead[H1568], the son[H1121] of Machir[H4353], the son[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519], had no sons[H1121], but daughters[H1323]: and these are the names[H8034] of his daughters[H1323], Mahlah[H4244], and Noah[H5270], Hoglah[H2295], Milcah[H4435], and Tirzah[H8656].
4
And they came near[H7126]before[H6440]Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], and before[H6440]Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126], and before[H6440] the princes[H5387], saying[H559], The LORD[H3068]commanded[H6680]Moses[H4872] to give[H5414] us an inheritance[H5159]among[H8432] our brethren[H251]. Therefore according to the commandment[H6310] of the LORD[H3068] he gave[H5414] them an inheritance[H5159]among[H8432] the brethren[H251] of their father[H1].
5
And there fell[H5307]ten[H6235]portions[H2256] to Manasseh[H4519], beside the land[H776] of Gilead[H1568] and Bashan[H1316], which were on the other side[H5676]Jordan[H3383];
6
Because the daughters[H1323] of Manasseh[H4519]had[H5157] an inheritance[H5159]among[H8432] his sons[H1121]: and the rest[H3498] of Manasseh[H4519]'s sons[H1121]had[H5157] the land[H776] of Gilead[H1568].
7
And the coast[H1366] of Manasseh[H4519] was from Asher[H836] to Michmethah[H4366], that lieth before[H6440]Shechem[H7927]; and the border[H1366] went along[H1980] on the right hand[H3225] unto the inhabitants[H3427] of Entappuah[H5887].
8
Now Manasseh[H4519] had the land[H776] of Tappuah[H8599]: but Tappuah[H8599] on the border[H1366] of Manasseh[H4519] belonged to the children[H1121] of Ephraim[H669];
9
And the coast[H1366]descended[H3381] unto the river[H5158]Kanah[H7071], southward[H5045] of the river[H5158]: these cities[H5892] of Ephraim[H669] are among[H8432] the cities[H5892] of Manasseh[H4519]: the coast[H1366] of Manasseh[H4519] also was on the north side[H6828] of the river[H5158], and the outgoings[H8444] of it were at the sea[H3220]:
10Southward[H5045] it was Ephraim's, and northward[H6828] it was Manasseh's, and the sea[H3220] is his border[H1366]; and they met together[H6293] in Asher[H836] on the north[H6828], and in Issachar[H3485] on the east[H4217].
11
And Manasseh[H4519] had in Issachar[H3485] and in Asher[H836]Bethshean[H1052] and her towns[H1323], and Ibleam[H2991] and her towns[H1323], and the inhabitants[H3427] of Dor[H1756] and her towns[H1323], and the inhabitants[H3427] of Endor[H5874] and her towns[H1323], and the inhabitants[H3427] of Taanach[H8590] and her towns[H1323], and the inhabitants[H3427] of Megiddo[H4023] and her towns[H1323], even three[H7969]countries[H5316].
12
Yet the children[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519]could[H3201] not drive out[H3423] the inhabitants of those cities[H5892]; but the Canaanites[H3669]would[H2974]dwell[H3427] in that land[H776].
13
Yet it came to pass, when the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] were waxen strong[H2388], that they put[H5414] the Canaanites[H3669] to tribute[H4522]; but did not utterly[H3423] drive them out[H3423].
14
And the children[H1121] of Joseph[H3130]spake[H1696] unto Joshua[H3091], saying[H559], Why hast thou given[H5414] me but one[H259]lot[H1486] and one[H259]portion[H2256] to inherit[H5159], seeing I am a great[H7227]people[H5971], forasmuch as[H5704] the LORD[H3068] hath blessed[H1288] me hitherto?[H3541]
15
And Joshua[H3091]answered[H559] them, If thou be a great[H7227]people[H5971], then get thee up[H5927] to the wood[H3293] country, and cut down[H1254] for thyself there in the land[H776] of the Perizzites[H6522] and of the giants[H7497], if mount[H2022]Ephraim[H669] be too narrow[H213] for thee.
16
And the children[H1121] of Joseph[H3130]said[H559], The hill[H2022] is not enough[H4672] for us: and all the Canaanites[H3669] that dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] of the valley[H6010] have chariots[H7393] of iron[H1270], both they who are of Bethshean[H1052] and her towns[H1323], and they who are of the valley[H6010] of Jezreel[H3157].
17
And Joshua[H3091]spake[H559] unto the house[H1004] of Joseph[H3130], even to Ephraim[H669] and to Manasseh[H4519], saying[H559], Thou art a great[H7227]people[H5971], and hast great[H1419]power[H3581]: thou shalt not have one[H259]lot[H1486] only:
18
But the mountain[H2022] shall be thine; for it is a wood[H3293], and thou shalt cut it down[H1254]: and the outgoings[H8444] of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out[H3423] the Canaanites[H3669], though they have iron[H1270]chariots[H7393], and though they be strong[H2389].
