The Other Half-Tribe of Manasseh (West)
1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the afirstborn of Joseph: namely for bMachir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war; therefore he was given cGilead and Bashan.
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.
