Joshua 17:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 17:4

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.

3 But ^aZelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

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.

5 Ten shares fell to ^aManasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan,

6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
