 <<  Yosua 17 >> 

1This is the territory allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, Joseph's eldest son. Machir was Manasseh's eldest son and father of Gilead, a fighting man; Gilead and Bashan were allotted to him.

2The rest of the Manassites family by family were the sons of Abiezer, the sons of Helek, the sons of Asriel, the sons of Shechem, the sons of Hepher, and the sons of Shemida; these were the male offspring of Manasseh son of Joseph family by family.

3Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons but only daughters: their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

4They presented themselves before Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun, and before the leaders, and said, “The LORD commanded Moses to allow us to inherit on the same footing as our kinsmen.” They were therefore given a holding on the same footing as their father's brothers according to the commandment of the LORD.

5There fell to Manasseh's lot ten shares, apart from the country of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan,

6because Manasseh's daughters had received a holding on the same footing as his sons. The country of Gilead belonged to the rest of Manasseh's sons.

7The boundary of Manasseh reached from Asher as far as Michmethath, which is to the east of Shechem, and thence southwards towards Jashub by Entappuah.

8The territory of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself was on the border of Manasseh and belonged to Ephraim.

9The boundary then followed the wadi of Kanah to the south of the wadi (these towns belong to Ephraim, although they lie among the towns of Manasseh), the boundary of Manasseh being on the north of the wadi; its limit was the sea.

10The southern side belonged to Ephraim and the northern to Manasseh, and their boundary was the sea. They marched with Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.

11But in 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, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages. (The third is the district of Dor.)

12The Manassites were unable to occupy these towns; the Canaanites maintained their hold on that part of the country.

13When the Israelites grew stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labour, but did not drive them out.

14The sons of Joseph appealed to Joshua: “Why have you given us only one lot and one share as our holding? We are a numerous people; so far the LORD has blessed us.”

15Joshua replied, “If you are so numerous, go up into the forest in the territory of the Perizzites and the Rephaim and clear it for yourselves. You are their near neighbours in the hill-country of Ephraim.”

16The sons of Joseph contended, “The hill-country is not enough for us; besides, all the Canaanites have iron-clad chariots, both those who inhabit the valley beside Beth-shean and its villages and also those in the valley of Jezreel.”

17Joshua said to the house of Joseph, that is Ephraim and Manasseh: “You are a numerous people of great vigour. You shall not have one lot only.

18The hill-country is to be yours. It is forest land; clear it and it will be yours to its farthest limits. The Canaanites may be powerful and equipped with iron-clad chariots, but you will be able to drive them out.”
