Joshua 17:1-10

1There was also a lotH1486 for the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519; for he was the firstbornH1060 of JosephH3130; that is, for MachirH4353 the firstbornH1060 of ManassehH4519, the fatherH1 of GileadH1568: because he was a manH376 of warH4421, therefore he had GileadH1568 and BashanH1316. 2There was also a lot for the restH3498 of the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 by 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: these were the maleH2145 offspringH1121 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of JosephH3130 by their familiesH4940.1 3But ZelophehadH6765, the sonH1121 of HepherH2660, the sonH1121 of GileadH1568, the sonH1121 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, had no sonsH1121, but daughtersH1323: and these are the namesH8034 of his daughtersH1323, MahlahH4244, and NoahH5270, HoglahH2295, MilcahH4435, and TirzahH8656. 4And they came nearH7126 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and beforeH6440 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and beforeH6440 the princesH5387, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 us an inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 our brethrenH251. Therefore according to the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 he gaveH5414 them an inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 the brethrenH251 of their fatherH1. 5And there fellH5307 tenH6235 portionsH2256 to ManassehH4519, besides the landH776 of GileadH1568 and BashanH1316, which were on the other sideH5676 of JordanH3383; 6Because the daughtersH1323 of ManassehH4519 hadH5157 an inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 his sonsH1121: and the restH3498 of Manasseh’sH4519 sonsH1121 had the landH776 of GileadH1568.

7And the landH1366 of ManassehH4519 was from AsherH836 to MichmethahH4366, that lieth beforeH6440 ShechemH7927; and the borderH1366 went alongH1980 on the right handH3225 to the inhabitantsH3427 of EntappuahH5887. 8Now ManassehH4519 had the landH776 of TappuahH8599: but TappuahH8599 on the borderH1366 of ManassehH4519 belonged to the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669; 9And the borderH1366 descendedH3381 to the riverH5158 KanahH7071, southwardH5045 of the riverH5158: these citiesH5892 of EphraimH669 are amongH8432 the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519: the borderH1366 of ManassehH4519 also was on the north sideH6828 of the riverH5158, and the endsH8444 of it were at the seaH3220:2 10SouthwardH5045 it was Ephraim’sH669, and northwardH6828 it was Manasseh’sH4519, and the seaH3220 is his borderH1366; and they met togetherH6293 in AsherH836 on the northH6828, and in IssacharH3485 on the eastH4217.
