Joshua 17:1-10

1And this was the lotH1486 for the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519; for he was the firstbornH1060 of JosephH3130. As for MachirH4353 the firstbornH1060 of ManassehH4519, the fatherH1 of GileadH1568, becauseH3588 he was a manH376 of warH4421, therefore he had GileadH1568 and BashanH1316.

2And the lot was for the restH3498 of the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 according to their familiesH4940; for the childrenH1121 of AbiezerH44, and for the childrenH1121 of HelekH2507, and for the childrenH1121 of AsrielH844, and for the childrenH1121 of ShechemH7928, and for the childrenH1121 of HepherH2660, and for the childrenH1121 of ShemidaH8061: theseH428 were the maleH2145 childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of JosephH3130 according to their familiesH4940.

3But ZelophehadH6765, the sonH1121 of HepherH2660, the sonH1121 of GileadH1568, the sonH1121 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, had noH3808 sonsH1121, but daughtersH1323: and theseH428 are the namesH8034 of his daughtersH1323, MahlahH4244, and NoahH5270, HoglahH2295, MilcahH4435, and TirzahH8656.

4And they cameH7126 nearH7126 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and beforeH6440 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and beforeH6440 the princesH5387, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 usH5414 an inheritanceH5159 among our brethrenH251: therefore accordingH6310 to the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 he gaveH5414 them an inheritanceH5159 among the brethrenH251 of their fatherH1.

5And there fellH5307 tenH6235 parts to ManassehH4519, besideH5676 the landH776 of GileadH1568 and BashanH1316, whichH834 is beyondH5676 JordanH3383;

6becauseH3588 the daughtersH1323 of ManassehH4519 had an inheritanceH5159 among his sonsH1121: and the landH776 of GileadH1568 belongedH1961 unto the restH3498 of the sonsH1121 of ManassehH4519.

7And the borderH1366 of ManassehH4519 was from AsherH836 to MichmethathH4366, whichH834 is beforeH6440 ShechemH7927; and the borderH1366 wentH1980 alongH5921 to the rightH3225 handH3225, unto the inhabitantsH3427 of En-tappuahH5887.

8The landH776 of TappuahH8599 belongedH1961 to ManassehH4519: but TappuahH8599 on the borderH1366 of ManassehH4519 belongedH1961 to the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669.

9And the borderH1366 wentH3381 downH3381 unto the brookH5158 of KanahH7071, southwardH5045 of the brookH5158: theseH428 citiesH5892 belongedH1961 to EphraimH669 among the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519: and the borderH1366 of ManassehH4519 was on the northH6828 sideH6828 of the brookH5158, and the goings outH1366 thereof were at the seaH3220:

10southwardH5045 it was Ephraim’sH669, and northwardH6828 it was Manasseh’sH4519, and the seaH3220 was his borderH1366; and they reachedH6293 to AsherH836 on the northH6828, and to IssacharH3485 on the eastH4217.
