Joshua 17:1-6
1Now this was the lot for the tribe of 1Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, 2were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war. 2So the lot was made for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families: for the sons of Abiezer, the sons of Helek, the sons of Asriel, the sons of Shechem, the sons of Hepher, and the sons of Shemida; these were the male 3descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
3However, 4Zelophehad, 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, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” So 5in accordance with the 6command of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers. 5So ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan, 6because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the 7land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
