Helek

Helek was a son of Gilead, who was a descendant of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. He is mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Manasseh in Numbers and Joshua (Num.26.30; Jos.17.2). Helek's descendants were known as the Helekites, one of the clans within the tribe of Manasseh. The Helekites, along with the other clans of Manasseh, received their inheritance in the Promised Land under the leadership of Joshua (Jos.17.2). No further information is provided about Helek himself in the Bible. (Num.26.30; Jos.17.2).
