Joshua 17:1-11

LEB(i) 1 Then the allotment was made for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Makir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted* Gilead and Bashan, because he was a warrior.* 2 An allotment was made for the remaining descendants* of Manasseh, according to their families: For the children of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida—these were the male descendants* of Manasseh son of Joseph according to their families. 3 But Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 They came before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, "Yahweh commanded Moses to give an inheritance to us among our kinsmen."* Therefore, according to the command of Yahweh* he gave them an inheritance among the kinsmen* of their father. 5 Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan, 6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead was allotted to the remaining descendants* of Manasseh. 7 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is opposite Shechem;* then the border goes to the south, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah. 8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh,* but Tuppuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the descendants of Ephraim.* 9 Then the border goes down to the wadi* of Kanah to the south of the wadi. These cities belong to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh is north of the wadi, and it ends* at the sea. 10 The south is Ephraim's, and the north is Manasseh's; the sea is their* border; Asher touches the north and on the east Issachar. 11 In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; the third is Napheth.
