Joshua 17:3-7

3Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, had no sons. He had only daughters. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

4They went to see Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders. They said, ‘The Lord told Moses to give us part of the land. We must have land like the sons of other families.’ Joshua agreed and he gave land to them, like the other families.

5That is why Manasseh's tribe received ten parts of the land, as well as Gilead and Bashan on the east side of the Jordan.

6The daughters of Manasseh received some land, as well as his sons. They gave the land of Gilead to the other families of Manasseh.

7The border of Manasseh's land went from Asher to Micmethath, east of Shechem. It went south to include En Tappuah.
