[1] 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 of the children of 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. [10] Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border. They reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. [11] Manasseh had three heights in Issachar, in Asher Beth Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns. [12] Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. [13] When the children of Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn’t utterly drive them out. [14] The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me just one lot and one part for an inheritance, since we are a numerous people, because Yahweh has blessed us so far?” [15] Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest, and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.” [16] The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.” [17] Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, that is, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only; [18] but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
King James Version
[1] There was also a lot H1486 for the tribe H4294 of Manasseh; H4519 for he was the firstborn H1060 of Joseph; H3130 to wit, for Machir H4353 the firstborn H1060 of Manasseh, H4519 the father H1 of Gilead: H1568 because he was a man H376 of war, H4421 therefore he had Gilead H1568 and Bashan. H1316 [2] There was also a lot for the rest H3498 (NiphPtc) of the children H1121 of Manasseh H4519 by their families; H4940 for the children H1121 of Abiezer, H44 and for the children H1121 of Helek, H2507 and for the children H1121 of Asriel, H844 and for the children H1121 of Shechem, H7928 and for the children H1121 of Hepher, H2660 and for the children H1121 of Shemida: H8061 these were the male H2145 children H1121 of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 of Joseph H3130 by their families. H4940 [3] But Zelophehad, H6765 the son H1121 of Hepher, H2660 the son H1121 of Gilead, H1568 the son H1121 of Machir, H4353 the son H1121 of Manasseh, H4519 had no sons, H1121 but daughters: H1323 and these are the names H8034 of his daughters, H1323 Mahlah, H4244 and Noah, H5270 Hoglah, H2295 Milcah, H4435 and Tirzah. H8656 [4] And they came near H7126 (QalImpf) before H6440 Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 and before H6440 Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 and before H6440 the princes, H5387 saying, H559 (QalInf) The Lord H3068 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) Moses H4872 to give H5414 (QalInf) us an inheritance H5159 among H8432 our brethren. H251 Therefore according to the commandment H6310 of the Lord H3068 he gave H5414 (QalImpf) them an inheritance H5159 among H8432 the brethren H251 of their father. H1 [5] And there fell H5307 (QalImpf) ten H6235 portions H2256 to Manasseh, H4519 beside the land H776 of Gilead H1568 and Bashan, H1316 which were on the other side H5676 Jordan; H3383 [6] because the daughters H1323 of Manasseh H4519 had H5157 (QalPerf) an inheritance H5159 among H8432 his sons: H1121 and the rest H3498 (NiphPtc) of Manasseh’s H4519 sons H1121 had the land H776 of Gilead. H1568 [7] And the coast H1366 of Manasseh H4519 was from Asher H836 to Michmethah, H4366 that lieth before H6440 Shechem; H7927 and the border H1366 went along H1980 (QalPerf) on the right hand H3225 unto the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of En-tappuah. H5887 [8] Now Manasseh H4519 had the land H776 of Tappuah: H8599 but Tappuah H8599 on the border H1366 of Manasseh H4519 belonged to the children H1121 of Ephraim; H669 [9] and the coast H1366 descended H3381 (QalPerf) unto the river H5158 Kanah, H7071§ southward H5045 of the river: H5158 these cities H5892 of Ephraim H669 are among H8432 the cities H5892 of Manasseh: H4519 the coast H1366 of Manasseh H4519 also was on the north side H6828 of the river, H5158 and the outgoings H8444 of it were at the sea: H3220 [10] southward H5045 it was Ephraim’s, H669 and northward H6828 it was Manasseh’s, H4519 and the sea H3220 is his border; H1366 and they met together H6293 (QalImpf) in Asher H836 on the north, H6828 and in Issachar H3485 on the east. H4217 [11] And Manasseh H4519 had in Issachar H3485 and in Asher H836 Beth-shean H1052 and her towns, H1323 and Ibleam H2991 and her towns, H1323 and the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Dor H1756 and her towns, H1323 and the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Endor H5874 and her towns, H1323 and the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Taanach H8590 and her towns, H1323 and the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Megiddo H4023 and her towns, H1323 even three H7969 countries. H5316 [12] Yet the children H1121 of Manasseh H4519 could H3201 (QalPerf) not drive out H3423 (HiphInf) the inhabitants of those cities; H5892 but the Canaanites H3669 would H2974 (HiphImpf) dwell H3427 (QalInf) in that land. H776 [13] Yet it came to pass, when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were waxen strong, H2388 (QalPerf) that they put H5414 (QalImpf) the Canaanites H3669 to tribute; H4522 but did not utterly H3423 (HiphInf) drive them out. H3423 (HiphPerf) [14] And the children H1121 of Joseph H3130 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Joshua, H3091 saying, H559 (QalInf) Why hast thou given H5414 (QalPerf) me but one H259 lot H1486 and one H259 portion H2256 to inherit, H5159 seeing I am a great H7227 people, H5971 forasmuch as H5704 the Lord H3068 hath blessed H1288 (PielPerf) me hitherto? H3541 [15] And Joshua H3091 answered H559 (QalImpf) them, If thou be a great H7227 people, H5971 then get thee up H5927 (QalImpv) to the wood H3293 country, and cut down H1254 (PielPerf) for thyself there in the land H776 of the Perizzites H6522 and of the giants, H7497§ if mount H2022 Ephraim H669 be too narrow H213 (QalPerf) for thee. [16] And the children H1121 of Joseph H3130 said, H559 (QalImpf) The hill H2022 is not enough H4672 (NiphImpf) for us: and all the Canaanites H3669 that dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) in the land H776 of the valley H6010 have chariots H7393 of iron, H1270 both they who are of Beth-shean H1052 and her towns, H1323 and they who are of the valley H6010 of Jezreel. H3157 [17] And Joshua H3091 spake H559 (QalImpf) unto the house H1004 of Joseph, H3130 even to Ephraim H669 and to Manasseh, H4519 saying, H559 (QalInf) Thou art a great H7227 people, H5971 and hast great H1419 power: H3581 thou shalt not have one H259 lot H1486 only: [18] but the mountain H2022 shall be thine; for it is a wood, H3293 and thou shalt cut it down: H1254 (PielPerf) and the outgoings H8444 of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out H3423 (HiphImpf) the Canaanites, H3669 though they have iron H1270 chariots, H7393 and though they be strong.
