of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
017:003 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.
017:004 They came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua
the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yahweh commanded
Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers:
therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them
an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
017:005 There fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead
and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
017:006 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons.
The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
017:007 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is
before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand,
to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
017:008 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on
the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
017:009 The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook:
these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh:
and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook,
and the goings out of it were at the sea:
017:010 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.
017:011 Manasseh had in 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 Endor and its towns,
and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants
of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.
017:012 Yet the children of Manasseh couldn't drive out [the inhabitants
of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
017:013 It happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong,
that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn't
utterly drive them out.
017:014 The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you
given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I
am a great people, because hitherto Yahweh has blessed me?
017:015 Joshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest,
and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites
and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too
narrow for you.
017:016 The children of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us:
and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have
chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth Shean and its towns,
