    1A 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.

    2The 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.

    7The territory of Manasseh stretched from Asher to Michmethath, which is near Shechem. Then the boundary ran southward to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.

    8The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself, on the boundary of Manasseh, belonged to the descendants of Ephraim.

    9The 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.

    10To 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.

    11Within 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.
