1 Now this was the allotment for the tribe of Manassehas Joseph’s firstborn son, namely for Machirthe firstborn of Manassehand father of the Gileadites, who had received Gileadand Bashanbecause Machirwas a man of war. 2 So this allotment was for the rest of the descendants of Manasseh— the clans of Abiezer,17:2 Abiezer is a variant of Iezer; see Numbers 26:30.Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the other male descendants of the clans of Manassehson of Joseph.
3 But Zelophehadson of Hepher(the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh) had no sons but only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 They approached Eleazarthe priest, Joshuason of Nun, and the leaders, and said, "The LORD commanded Mosesto give us an inheritance among our brothers."
So Joshuagave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers, in keeping with the command of the LORD. 5 Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, in addition to the land of Gileadand Bashanbeyond the Jordan, 6 because the daughters of Manassehreceived an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gileadbelonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
7 Now the border of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethathnear Shechem, then southward to include the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 8 The region of Tappuahbelonged to Manasseh, but Tappuahitself, on the border of Manasseh, belonged to Ephraim. 9 From there the border continued southward to the Brook of Kanah. There were cities belonging to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh, but the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and ended at the Sea.17:9 That is, the Mediterranean Sea, also called the Great Sea; also in verse 1010 Ephraim’s territory was to the south, and Manasseh’s was to the north, having the Sea as its border and adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.
11 Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was assigned Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor(that is, Naphath), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, each with their surrounding settlements.
12 But the descendants of Manassehwere unable to occupy these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land. 13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labor; but they failed to drive them out completely.
14 Then the sons of Josephsaid to Joshua, "Why have you given us only one portion as an inheritance? We have many people, because the LORD has blessed us abundantly."
15 Joshuaanswered them, "If you have so many people that the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, go to the forest and clear for yourself an area in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim."
16 "The hill country is not enough for us," they replied, "and all the Canaanites who live in the valley have iron chariots, both in Beth-sheanwith its towns and in the Valley of Jezreel."
17 So Joshuasaid to the house of Joseph— to Ephraim and Manasseh — "You have many people and great strength. You shall not have just one allotment, 18 because the hill country will be yours as well. It is a forest; clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours. Although the Canaanites have iron chariots and although they are strong, you can drive them out."
