Joshua 17:1-6
1Now this wasH1961 the allotmentH1486 for the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519H3588 as Joseph’sH3130 firstborn sonH1060, namely for MachirH4353 the firstbornH1060 of ManassehH4519 and fatherH1 of the GileaditesH1568, who had receivedH1961 GileadH1568 and BashanH1316 becauseH3588 Machir wasH1961 a manH376 of warH4421. 2So this allotment wasH1961 for the restH3498 of the descendantsH1121 of ManassehH4519—the clansH1121 of AbiezerH44,1 HelekH2507, AsrielH844H1121, ShechemH7928H1121, HepherH2660H1121, and ShemidaH8061. TheseH428 are the other maleH2145 descendantsH1121 of the clansH4940 of ManassehH4519 sonH1121 of JosephH3130.
3But ZelophehadH6765 sonH1121 of HepherH2660 (the sonH1121 of GileadH1568, the sonH1121 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519) hadH1961 noH3808 sonsH1121 butH3588 onlyH518 daughtersH1323. TheseH428 are the namesH8034 of his daughtersH1323: MahlahH4244, NoahH5270, HoglahH2295, MilcahH4435, and TirzahH8656. 4They approachedH7126H6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548H6440, JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126H6440, and the leadersH5387, and saidH559, “The LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 us an inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 our brothersH251.”
So Joshua gaveH5414 them an inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 their father’sH1 brothersH251, in keeping withH413 the command ofH6310 the LORDH3068. 5Thus tenH6235 sharesH2256 fellH5307 to ManassehH4519, in addition toH905 the landH776 of GileadH1568 and BashanH1316 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, 6becauseH3588 the daughtersH1323 of ManassehH4519 receivedH5157 an inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 his sonsH1121. And the landH776 of GileadH1568 belonged toH1961 the restH3498 of the sonsH1121 of ManassehH4519.
