17:1 And
the
lot
is
for
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
(for
he
[is]
first-born
of
Joseph),
for
Machir
first-born
of
Manasseh,
father
of
Gilead,
for
he
hath
been
a
man
of
war,
and
his
are
Gilead
and
Bashan.
17:2 And
there
is
for
the
sons
of
Manasseh
who
are
left,
for
their
families;
for
the
sons
of
Abiezer,
and
for
the
sons
of
Helek,
and
for
the
sons
of
Asriel,
and
for
the
sons
of
Shechem,
and
for
the
sons
of
Hepher,
and
for
the
sons
of
Shemida;
these
[are]
the
children
of
Manasseh
son
of
Joseph--the
males--by
their
families.
17:3 As
to
Zelophehad,
son
of
Hepher,
son
of
Gilead,
son
of
Machir,
son
of
Manasseh,
he
hath
no
children
except
daughters,
and
these
[are]
the
names
of
his
daughters:
Mahlah,
and
Noah,
Hoglah,
Milcah,
and
Tirzah,
17:4 and
they
draw
near
before
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
before
Joshua
son
of
Nun,
and
before
the
princes,
saying,
`Jehovah
commanded
Moses
to
give
to
us
an
inheritance
in
the
midst
of
our
brethren;'
and
he
giveth
to
them,
at
the
command
of
Jehovah,
an
inheritance
in
the
midst
of
the
brethren
of
their
father.
17:5 And
ten
portions
fall
[to]
Manasseh,
apart
from
the
land
of
Gilead
and
Bashan,
which
[are]
beyond
the
Jordan;
17:6 for
the
daughters
of
Manasseh
have
inherited
an
inheritance
in
the
midst
of
his
sons,
and
the
land
of
Gilead
hath
been
to
the
sons
of
Manasseh
who
are
left.
17:7 And
the
border
of
Manasseh
is
from
Asher
to
Michmethah,
which
[is]
on
the
front
of
Shechem,
and
the
border
hath
gone
on
unto
the
right,
unto
the
inhabitants
of
En-Tappuah.
17:8 To
Manasseh
hath
been
the
land
of
Tappuah,
and
Tappuah
unto
the
border
of
Manasseh
is
to
the
sons
of
Ephraim.
17:9 And
the
border
hath
come
down
[to]
the
brook
of
Kanah,
southward
of
the
brook;
these
cities
of
Ephraim
[are]
in
the
midst
of
the
cities
of
Manasseh,
and
the
border
of
Manasseh
[is]
on
the
north
of
the
brook,
and
its
outgoings
are
at
the
sea.
17:10 Southward
[is]
to
Ephraim
and
northward
to
Manasseh,
and
the
sea
is
his
border,
and
in
Asher
they
meet
on
the
north,
and
in
Issachar
on
the
east.
17:11 And
Manasseh
hath
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
En-Dor
and
its
towns,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Taanach
and
its
towns,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Megiddo
and
its
towns,
three
counties.
17:12 And
the
sons
of
Manasseh
have
not
been
able
to
occupy
these
cities,
and
the
Canaanite
is
desirous
to
dwell
in
this
land,
17:13 and
it
cometh
to
pass
when
the
sons
of
Israel
have
been
strong,
that
they
put
the
Canaanite
to
tribute,
and
have
not
utterly
dispossessed
him.
17:14 And
the
sons
of
Joseph
speak
with
Joshua,
saying,
`Wherefore
hast
thou
given
to
me
an
inheritance--one
lot
and
one
portion,
and
I
a
numerous
people
hitherto
hath
Jehovah
blessed
me.'
17:15 And
Joshua
saith
unto
them,
`If
thou
[art]
a
numerous
people,
go
up
for
thee
to
the
forest,
then
thou
hast
prepared
for
thee
there,
in
the
land
of
the
Perizzite,
and
of
the
Rephaim,
when
mount
Ephraim
hath
been
narrow
for
thee.'
17:16 And
the
sons
of
Joseph
say,
`The
hill
is
not
found
to
us,
and
a
chariot
of
iron
[is]
with
every
Canaanite
who
is
dwelling
in
the
land
of
the
valley--to
him
who
[is]
in
Beth-Shean
and
its
towns,
and
to
him
who
[is]
in
the
valley
of
Jezreel.'
17:17 And
Joshua
speaketh
unto
the
house
of
Joseph,
to
Ephraim
and
to
Manasseh,
saying,
`Thou
[art]
a
numerous
people,
and
hast
great
power;
thou
hast
not
one
lot
[only]
,
17:18 because
the
mountain
is
thine;
because
it
[is]
a
forest--thou
hast
prepared
it,
and
its
outgoings
have
been
thine;
because
thou
dost
dispossess
the
Canaanite,
though
it
hath
chariots
of
iron--though
it
[is]
strong.'
