2
And allotments were made 1to the rest of the people of Manasseh by their clans, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph, by their clans.
3
Now 2Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, and these are the names of his daughters: 3Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4
They approached 4Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the leaders and said, 5"The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with our brothers." So according to the mouth of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5
Thus there fell to Manasseh ten portions, besides 6the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan,
6
because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was allotted to the rest of the people of Manasseh.
7
The territory of Manasseh reached from Asher to 7Michmethath, which is east of Shechem. Then the boundary goes along southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8
The land of 8Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah on the boundary of Manasseh belonged to the people of Ephraim.
9
9Then the boundary went down to the brook Kanah. These cities, to the south of the brook, among the cities of Manasseh, belong to Ephraim. Then the boundary of Manasseh goes on the north side of the brook and ends at the sea,
10
the land to the south being Ephraim's and that to the north being Manasseh's, with the sea forming its boundary. On the north Asher is reached, and on the east Issachar.
11
Also in Issachar and in Asher 10Manasseh had Beth-shean and its villages, and Ibleam and its villages, and the inhabitants of 11Dor and its villages, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, and the inhabitants of 12Taanach and its villages, and the inhabitants of 13Megiddo and its villages; 14the third is Naphath.
12
15Yet the people of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.
