This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph.
As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh,
the father of Gilead, because he was a
man of war, therefore he had Gilead and
Bashan.

2 So this was for the rest ofthe childrenof
Manasseh according to their families: for
the children of Abiezer, for the children
of Helek, for the children of Asriel, for the
children of Shechem, for the children of
Hepher, and for the children of Shemida.
These were the male children of Manasseh
the son of Joseph according to their families.

3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,
the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the
son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters. These are the names of his daughters:
Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

4 They came to Eleazar the priest, and to
Joshua the son of Nun, and to the princes,
saying, “Yahweh commanded Moses to
give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them an
inheritance among the brothers of their
father.

5 Ten parts fell to Manasseh, in addition
to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is
beyond the Jordan;

6 because the daughters of Manasseh
had an inheritance among his sons. The
land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the
sons of Manasseh.

7 The border of Manasseh was from
Asher to Michmethath, which is before
Shechem. The border went along to the
right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.

8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of
Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

9 The border went down to the brook
of Kanah, southward of the brook. These
cities belonged to Ephraim among the
cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook,
and ended at the sea.
