There was also a lot{H1486} for the tribe{H4294} of Manasseh{H4519}; for he was the firstborn{H1060} of Joseph{H3130}; to wit, for Machir{H4353} the firstborn{H1060} of Manasseh{H4519}, the father{H1} of Gilead{H1568}: because he was a man{H376} of war{H4421}, therefore he had Gilead{H1568} and Bashan{H1316}.

There was also a lot for the rest{H3498}{(H8737)} of the children{H1121} of Manasseh{H4519} by their families{H4940}; for the children{H1121} of Abiezer{H44}, and for the children{H1121} of Helek{H2507}, and for the children{H1121} of Asriel{H844}, and for the children{H1121} of Shechem{H7928}, and for the children{H1121} of Hepher{H2660}, and for the children{H1121} of Shemida{H8061}: these were the male{H2145} children{H1121} of Manasseh{H4519} the son{H1121} of Joseph{H3130} by their families{H4940}.

But Zelophehad{H6765}, the son{H1121} of Hepher{H2660}, the son{H1121} of Gilead{H1568}, the son{H1121} of Machir{H4353}, the son{H1121} of Manasseh{H4519}, had no sons{H1121}, but daughters{H1323}: and these are the names{H8034} of his daughters{H1323}, Mahlah{H4244}, and Noah{H5270}, Hoglah{H2295}, Milcah{H4435}, and Tirzah{H8656}.

And they came near{H7126}{(H8799)} before{H6440} Eleazar{H499} the priest{H3548}, and before{H6440} Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Nun{H5126}, and before{H6440} the princes{H5387}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, The LORD{H3068} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} Moses{H4872} to give{H5414}{(H8800)} us an inheritance{H5159} among{H8432} our brethren{H251}. Therefore according to the commandment{H6310} of the LORD{H3068} he gave{H5414}{(H8799)} them an inheritance{H5159} among{H8432} the brethren{H251} of their father{H1}.

And there fell{H5307}{(H8799)} ten{H6235} portions{H2256} to Manasseh{H4519}, beside the land{H776} of Gilead{H1568} and Bashan{H1316}, which were on the other side{H5676} Jordan{H3383};

Because the daughters{H1323} of Manasseh{H4519} had{H5157}{(H8804)} an inheritance{H5159} among{H8432} his sons{H1121}: and the rest{H3498}{(H8737)} of Manasseh's{H4519} sons{H1121} had the land{H776} of Gilead{H1568}.

And the coast{H1366} of Manasseh{H4519} was from Asher{H836} to Michmethah{H4366}, that lieth before{H6440} Shechem{H7927}; and the border{H1366} went along{H1980}{(H8804)} on the right hand{H3225} unto the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Entappuah{H5887}.

Now Manasseh{H4519} had the land{H776} of Tappuah{H8599}: but Tappuah{H8599} on the border{H1366} of Manasseh{H4519} belonged to the children{H1121} of Ephraim{H669};

And the coast{H1366} descended{H3381}{(H8804)} unto the river{H5158} Kanah{H7071}, southward{H5045} of the river{H5158}: these cities{H5892} of Ephraim{H669} are among{H8432} the cities{H5892} of Manasseh{H4519}: the coast{H1366} of Manasseh{H4519} also was on the north side{H6828} of the river{H5158}, and the outgoings{H8444} of it were at the sea{H3220}:

Southward{H5045} it was Ephraim's{H669}, and northward{H6828} it was Manasseh's{H4519}, and the sea{H3220} is his border{H1366}; and they met together{H6293}{(H8799)} in Asher{H836} on the north{H6828}, and in Issachar{H3485} on the east{H4217}.

And Manasseh{H4519} had in Issachar{H3485} and in Asher{H836} Bethshean{H1052} and her towns{H1323}, and Ibleam{H2991} and her towns{H1323}, and the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Dor{H1756} and her towns{H1323}, and the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Endor{H5874} and her towns{H1323}, and the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Taanach{H8590} and her towns{H1323}, and the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Megiddo{H4023} and her towns{H1323}, even three{H7969} countries{H5316}.

Yet the children{H1121} of Manasseh{H4519} could{H3201}{(H8804)} not drive out{H3423}{(H8687)} the inhabitants of those cities{H5892}; but the Canaanites{H3669} would{H2974}{(H8686)} dwell{H3427}{(H8800)} in that land{H776}.

Yet it came to pass, when the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} were waxen strong{H2388}{(H8804)}, that they put{H5414}{(H8799)} the Canaanites{H3669} to tribute{H4522}; but did not utterly{H3423}{(H8687)} drive them out{H3423}{(H8689)}.

And the children{H1121} of Joseph{H3130} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Joshua{H3091}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Why hast thou given{H5414}{(H8804)} me but one{H259} lot{H1486} and one{H259} portion{H2256} to inherit{H5159}, seeing I am a great{H7227} people{H5971}, forasmuch as{H5704} the LORD{H3068} hath blessed{H1288}{(H8765)} me hitherto{H3541}?

And Joshua{H3091} answered{H559}{(H8799)} them, If thou be a great{H7227} people{H5971}, then get thee up{H5927}{(H8798)} to the wood{H3293} country, and cut down{H1254}{(H8765)} for thyself there in the land{H776} of the Perizzites{H6522} and of the giants{H7497}, if mount{H2022} Ephraim{H669} be too narrow{H213}{(H8804)} for thee.

And the children{H1121} of Joseph{H3130} said{H559}{(H8799)}, The hill{H2022} is not enough{H4672}{(H8735)} for us: and all the Canaanites{H3669} that dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in the land{H776} of the valley{H6010} have chariots{H7393} of iron{H1270}, both they who are of Bethshean{H1052} and her towns{H1323}, and they who are of the valley{H6010} of Jezreel{H3157}.

And Joshua{H3091} spake{H559}{(H8799)} unto the house{H1004} of Joseph{H3130}, even to Ephraim{H669} and to Manasseh{H4519}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Thou art a great{H7227} people{H5971}, and hast great{H1419} power{H3581}: thou shalt not have one{H259} lot{H1486} only:

But the mountain{H2022} shall be thine; for it is a wood{H3293}, and thou shalt cut it down{H1254}{(H8765)}: and the outgoings{H8444} of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out{H3423}{(H8686)} the Canaanites{H3669}, though they have iron{H1270} chariots{H7393}, and though they be strong{H2389}.
