| [1]And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. |
[1]This was also the lot of the tribe of Manasseh: for he was the firstborn of Joseph, to wit, of Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, and the father of Gilead: now because he was a man of war, he had Gilead and Bashan. |
| [2]And the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families. |
[2]And also of the rest of the sons of Manasseh by their families, even of the sons of Abiezer, and of the sons of Helek, and of the sons of Asriel, and of the sons of Shechem, and of the sons of Hepher, and of the sons of Shemida: these were the males of Manasseh, the son of Joseph according to their families. |
| [3]But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. |
[3]But Zelophehad the son of Hephir, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah: |
| [4]And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying '𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren'; therefore according commandment of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. |
[4]Which came before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. |
| [5]And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan; |
[5]And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side Jordan, |
| [6]Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons; and the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh. |
[6]Because the daughters of Manasseh did inherit among his sons: and Manasseh's other sons had the land of Gilead. |
| [7]And the border of Manasseh was, beginning from Asher, Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto inhabitants of En-tappuah.— |
[7]So the borders of Manasseh were from Asher to Michmethah that lieth before Shechem, and this border goeth on the right hand, even unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. |
| [8]The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.— |
[8]The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah beside the border of Manasseh belongeth to the sons of Ephraim. |
| [9]And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook, by cities which belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh; but the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and the goings out thereof were at the sea: |
[9]Also this border goeth down unto the river Kanah southward to the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh is on the north side of the river, and the ends of it are at the sea, |
| [10]Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. |
[10]The south pertaineth to Ephraim, and the north to Manasseh, and the sea is his border: and they met together in Asher northward, and in Issachar eastward. |
| [11]And Manasseh had Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three regions. |
[11]And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean, and her towns, and Ibleam, and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor with the towns thereof, and the inhabitants of En-dor with the towns thereof, and the inhabitants of Thaanach with her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo with the towns of the same, even three countries. |
| [12]Yet the children Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites were resolved to dwell in that land. |
[12]Yet the children of Manasseh could not destroy those cities, but the Canaanites dwelled still in that land. |
| [13]And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put Canaanites to taskwork, but did not utterly drive them out. |
[13]Nevertheless, when the children of Israel were strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute, but cast them not out wholly. |
| [14]And the children of Joseph spoke unt Joshua, saying: 'Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath blessed me thus?' |
[14]Then the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot, and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, for as much as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto? |
| [15]And Joshua said unto them: 'If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.' |
[15]Joshua then answered them, If thou be much people, get thee up to the wood, and cut trees for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites, and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. |
| [16]And the children of Joseph said: 'The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.' |
[16]Then the children of Joseph said, The mountain will not be enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the low country have chariots of iron, as well they in Beth-shean, and in the towns of the same, as they in the valley of Izreel. |
| [17]And Joshua spoke unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh saying: 'Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only; |
[17]And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim, and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power, and shalt not have one lot. |
| [18]But t hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they be strong.' |
[18]Therefore the mountain shall be thine: for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the ends of it shall be thine, and thou shalt cast out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong. |
