RF JOS 17:1 But the bounds of the tribe of Manasseh, who was the first-born son of Joseph, were: To Makir, the elder son of Manasseh, the father of Gilad, who was a great general, was given Gilad and Bashan,
RF JOS 17:2 and to the other sons of Manasseh with their families.—To the sons of Aliazer and the sons of Kholek, and the sons of Asrail, and the sons of Shekem, and the sons of Khefer, and the sons of Shemida, the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph the Great, with their families.
RF JOS 17:3 (B.C. 1444.) Tzilafkhad's Heiresses Given Estates as if They Were Sons.
And Tzilafkhad the son of Khifir, the son of Gilad, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. The names of his daughters were Makha and Noah, Khagla, Milka, and Thirza
RF JOS 17:4 who approached the presence of Aliazer the priest, and the presence of Joshua the son of Nun, and the presence of the princes, saying: "The EVER-LIVING commanded to Moses to give us an estate amongst our relatives," consequently they gave them an estate amongst the relatives of their father.
RF JOS 17:5 But there fell ten districts to Manasseh, beside those in the land of Gilad and Bashan, which are beyond the Jordan;
RF JOS 17:6 for the daughters of Manasseh inherited an estate amongst the sons, but the land of Gilad came to the other sons of Manasseh.
RF JOS 17:7 However the bounds of Manasseh were from Mikmethath to opposite Shikem, where the line runs to the right to the hamlets of Ain-Thafokh.
RF JOS 17:8 The district of Thafoka belongs to Manasseh, and at Thafoka Manasseh and the sons of Ephraim are continuous.
RF JOS 17:9 Thence the line descends to the river Kanah. South of that river the towns belong to Ephraim amongst the towns of Manasseh. There the border of Manasseh runs from the river, and its termination is the lake.
RF JOS 17:10 On the south is Ephraim's and northward is Manasseh's, and the lake is the boundary, and it is alongside Ashur from the north, and to Issakar on the east.
RF JOS 17:11 But to Manasseh, and Issakar, and Ashur belonged Bethshon, and her daughters, and Zablan and her daughters, and the people of Dar and her daughters, and the people of Anidor and her daughters, and the people of Anak and her daughters, and the people of Megiddo and her daughters, three tablelands.
RF JOS 17:12 For the sons of Manasseh were unable to seize these towns, so they permitted the Canaanites to remain in this district.
RF JOS 17:13 But the children of Israel were dominant, and they placed the Canaanites under tribute, and did not expel them.
RF JOS 17:14 (B.C. 1430.) The Tribe of Joseph Demands More Extensive Territory.
The sons of Joseph, however, came to Joshua asking, "Will you only give to us a single district by lot, and a line, for I am a numerous people, since the EVER-LIVING has blessed me so much?"
RF JOS 17:15 Joshua answered them, "If you are a numerous people go up to the forest, and acquire for yourself in the country of the Perizites and the Rephaim, since Mount Ephraim is nothing to you."
RF JOS 17:16 But the sons of Joseph replied, "We cannot acquire the Highlands, for all the Canaanites who retain the tablelands have chariots of iron, as well as the inhabitants of Bethshon, and her daughters, and those in the valley of Jezrael."
RF JOS 17:17 Joshua however answered the house of Joseph,—Ephraim and Manasseh saying; "You are a great people, and have great power; there shall not be another allotment to you.
RF JOS 17:18 However the highland shall be yours, for it is a forest,—so acquire it. But you must go and expel the Canaanites, although they have chariots of iron, for you are able."
