JOS-17:1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he
[was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the
firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a
man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
JOS-17:2 There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of
Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for
the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for
the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for
the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of
Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
JOS-17:3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead,
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but
daughters: and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah,
and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
JOS-17:4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and
before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying,
The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our
brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he
gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
JOS-17:5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the
land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;
JOS-17:6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance
among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of
Gilead.
JOS-17:7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah,
that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the
right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.
JOS-17:8 [Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on
the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;
JOS-17:9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward
of the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of
Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of
the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
JOS-17:10 Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was]
Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in
Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
JOS-17:11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean
and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of
Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns,
and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the
inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.
JOS-17:12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the
inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in
that land.
JOS-17:13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were
waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did
not utterly drive them out.
JOS-17:14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying,
Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit,
seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed
me hitherto?
JOS-17:15 And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people,
[then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for
thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants,
if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
JOS-17:16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not
enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of
the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of
Bethshean and her towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of
Jezreel.
JOS-17:17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to
Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and
hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot [only]:
JOS-17:18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood,
and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be
thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have
iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong.
