14Manasseh’s sons through his Aramean concubine: Asriel and Machir the father of Gilead.

15Machir took wives from Huppim and Shuppim. The name of his sister was Maacah. Another descendant was named Zelophehad, but he had only daughters.

16Machir’s wife Maacah gave birth to a son, and she named him Peresh. His brother was named Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rekem.

17Ulam’s son: Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead son of Machir, son of Manasseh.

18His sister Hammolecheth gave birth to Ishhod, Abiezer, and Mahlah.

21his son Zabad, his son Shuthelah, also Ezer, and Elead. The men of Gath, born in the land, killed them because they went down to raid their cattle.

22Their father Ephraim mourned a long time, and his relatives came to comfort him.

23He slept with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. So he named him Beriah, because there had been misfortune in his home.

24His daughter was Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper Beth-horon and Uzzen-sheerah,

25his son Rephah, his son Resheph, his son Telah, his son Tahan,

26his son Ladan, his son Ammihud, his son Elishama,

29and along the borders of the descendants of Manasseh, Beth-shean, Taanach, Megiddo, and Dor with their surrounding villages. The sons of Joseph son of Israel lived in these towns.
