1 A part of the land west of the Jordanwas assigned to some of the families descended from Joseph’s older son Manasseh. Machir, the father of Gilead, was Manasseh’s oldest son and a military hero, so Gileadand Bashan, east of the Jordan, were assigned to him. 2 Land west of the Jordanwas assigned to the rest of the families of Manasseh: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were male descendants of Manassehson of Joseph, and they were heads of families. 3 Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, did not have any sons, but only daughters. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 Nu 27.1-7They went to Eleazarthe priest and to Joshuason of Nunand to the leaders, and said, "The Lordcommanded Mosesto give us, as well as our male relatives, a part of the land to possess." So, as the Lordhad commanded, they were given land along with their male relatives. 5 This is why Manasseh received ten shares in addition to Gileadand Bashanon the east side of the Jordan, 6 since his female descendants as well as his male descendants were assigned land. The land of Gileadwas assigned to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh.
7 The territory of Manasseh reached from Asher to Michmethath, east of Shechem. The border then went south to include the people of Entappuah. 8 The land around Tappuahbelonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, on the border, belonged to the descendants of Ephraim. 9 The border then went down to the stream Kanah. The cities south of the stream belonged to Ephraim, even though they were in the territory of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh proceeded along the north side of the stream and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. 10 Ephraim was to the south, and Manasseh was to the north, with the Mediterranean Seaas their western border. Asher was to the northwest, and Issachar to the northeast. 11 Within the territories of Issachar and Asher, Manasseh possessed Beth Shanand Ibleam, along with their surrounding towns, as well as Dor(the one on the coast),17.11: Probable text Dor (the one on the coast); Hebrew unclear.Endor, Taanach, Megiddo, and their surrounding towns. 12 Jg 1.27,28The people of Manasseh, however, were not able to drive out the people living in those cities, so the Canaanites continued to live there. 13 Even when the Israelites became stronger, they did not drive out all the Canaanites, but they did force them to work for them.
Ephraim and West Manasseh Request More Land
14 The descendants of Josephsaid to Joshua, "Why have you given us only one part of the land to possess as our own? There are very many of us because the Lordhas blessed us."
15 Joshuaanswered, "If there are so many of you and the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, then go into the forests and clear ground for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim."
16 They replied, "The hill country is not big enough for us, but the Canaanites in the plains have iron chariots, both those who live in Beth Shanand its surrounding towns and those who live in Jezreel Valley."
17 Joshuasaid to the tribes of Ephraim and West Manasseh, "There are indeed many of you, and you are very powerful. You shall have more than one share. 18 The hill country will be yours. Even though it is a forest, you will clear it and take possession of it from one end to the other. As for the Canaanites, you will drive them out, even though they do have iron chariots and are a strong people."
