Joshua 17:3

The Other Half-Tribe of Manasseh (West)

2 And there was a lot for ^athe rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: ^bfor the children of Abiezer, the children of Helek, ^cthe children of Asriel, the children of Shechem, ^dthe children of Hepher, and the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

4 And they came near before ^aEleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, ^b“The Lord commanded Moses to give us an¹ inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore, according to the commandment of the Lord, he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers.
