1
Now this was the lot
for the tribe
of Manasseh,
for he was
the firstborn
of Joseph.
To Machir
the firstborn
of Manasseh,
the father
of
Gilead
,
were allotted
Gilead
and Bashan,
because
he was a man
of war.
2
So the lot was made for the rest
of the sons
of Manasseh
according to 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
were the male
descendants
of Manasseh
the son
of Joseph
according to their families.
3
However, Zelophehad,
the son
of Hepher,
the son
of Gilead,
the son
of Machir,
the son
of Manasseh,
had
no
sons,
only
daughters;
and these
are the names
of his daughters:
Mahlah
and Noah,
Hoglah,
Milcah
and Tirzah.
4
They came near
before
Eleazar
the priest
and
before
Joshua
the son
of Nun
and
before
the leaders,
saying,
"The LORD
commanded
Moses
to give
us an inheritance
among
our
brothers.
"
So according
to the command
of the LORD
he gave
them an inheritance
among
their father's
brothers.
5
Thus there fell
ten
portions
to Manasseh,
besides
the land
of Gilead
and Bashan,
which
is beyond
the Jordan,
6
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
.
7
The border
of Manasseh
ran
from Asher
to Michmethath
which
was east
of Shechem;
then the border
went
southward
to the inhabitants
of En-tappuah.
8
The land
of Tappuah
belonged
to Manasseh,
but Tappuah
on the border
of Manasseh
belonged
to the sons
of Ephraim.
9
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 it ended
at the sea.
10
The south
side
belonged to Ephraim
and the north
side
to Manasseh,
and the sea
was their border;
and they reached
to Asher
on the north
and to Issachar
on the east.
11
In Issachar
and in Asher,
Manasseh
had
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
,
the third
is Napheth.
12
But the sons
of Manasseh
could
not take possession
of these
cities,
because the Canaanites
persisted
in living
in that land.
13
It came
about when
the sons
of Israel
became strong,
they put
the Canaanites
to forced labor,
but they did not drive
them out completely.
14
Then the sons
of Joseph
spoke
to Joshua,
saying,
"Why
have you given
me only one
lot
and one
portion
for an inheritance,
since I am a numerous
people
whom
the LORD
has thus
far
blessed?"
15
Joshua
said
to them, "If
you are a numerous
people,
go
up to the forest
and clear
a place for yourself there
in the land
of the Perizzites
and of the Rephaim,
since
the hill country
of Ephraim
is too narrow
for you."
16
The sons
of Joseph
said,
"The hill country
is not enough
for us, and all
the Canaanites
who live
in the valley
land
have chariots
of iron,
both those who
are in Beth-shean
and its towns
and those who
are
in the valley
of Jezreel."
17
Joshua
spoke
to the house
of Joseph,
to Ephraim
and Manasseh,
saying,
"You are a numerous
people
and have great
power;
you shall not have
one
lot
only,
18
but the hill country
shall be yours. For
though
it is a forest,
you shall clear
it, and to its farthest borders
it shall be yours; for you shall drive
out the Canaanites,
even
though
they have chariots
of iron
and
though
they are strong."
