  • Josh 17:1-9 : 1 A portion of land was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, for he was Joseph's firstborn. To Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, since he was a man of war, Gilead and Bashan were given. 2 The rest of the families of Manasseh also received their inheritance, including the families of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida—these were the male descendants of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, according to their families. 3 Now Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, 'The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.' So, in accordance with the LORD's command, they were given an inheritance among their father's brothers. 5 Ten portions fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan. 6 For the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh. 7 The territory of Manasseh stretched from Asher to Michmethath, which is near Shechem. Then the boundary ran southward to the inhabitants of En Tappuah. 8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself, on the boundary of Manasseh, belonged to the descendants of Ephraim. 9 The boundary descended to the Wadi Kanah, southward of the wadi. These towns belonged to Ephraim within the towns of Manasseh. The boundary of Manasseh was on the north side of the wadi and ended at the sea. 10 To the south, the land belonged to Ephraim; to the north, it belonged to Manasseh. The sea formed its boundary. Manasseh touched Asher on the north and Issachar on the east. 11 Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh possessed Beth-shean and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages, and the three regions of Napheth. 12 But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to drive out the inhabitants of these cities. So the Canaanites continued to live in the land. 13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor but did not completely drive them out. 14 The descendants of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, 'Why have you given us just one lot and one portion for an inheritance, when we are a numerous people, as the LORD has blessed us to this point?' 15 Joshua said to them, 'If you are so numerous, go up into the forest and clear land for yourselves there in the territory of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.' 16 The descendants of Joseph replied, 'The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the valley have iron chariots, both those in Beth-shean and its surrounding villages and those in the Valley of Jezreel.' 17 Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh: 'You are a numerous people and strong. You shall not have just one allotment of land,' 18 but the hill country shall be yours. Though it is a forest, you can clear it, and its farthest limits shall be yours. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and are strong.
