The Koine Bible

And the boundaries of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh came to be, because he was the firstborn to Joseph, to Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a warrior man in Gilead and in Bashan.

And it became for the sons of Manasseh, the remaining ones, according to their clans: for the sons of Jezer and for the sons of Helek and for the sons of Asriel and for the sons of Shechem and for the sons of Shemida and for the sons of Hepher. These were the male ones according to their clans.

And to Zelophehad son of Hepher there were no sons to him but daughters; and these are the names of Zelophehad’s daughters: Mahlah and Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah

And they stood before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua and before the rulers, saying, God commanded by the hand of Moses to give us an inheritance among the midst of our brothers; and a lot was given to them by command of the Lord among the brothers of their father.

And their allotment fell from Anassa and the plain of Labek, from Gilead, which is beyond the Jordan.

For the daughters of the sons of Manasseh inherited an inheritance among their brothers, and the land of Gilead became for the sons of Manasseh who were left behind

And the borders of the sons of Manasseh became, Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it goes to the borders to Jamin and Jassib, to the spring of Thaphthoth

To Manasseh also shall Tappuah be on the borders of Manasseh, to the sons of Ephraim

And the borders shall go down to the ravine of Karana to the south, along the ravine of Iariel, the terebinth of Ephraim, in the midst of the city of Manasseh; and the borders of Manasseh shall be to the north to the winter torrent, and its outlet shall be the sea.

On the south to Ephraim, and on the north to Manasseh, and the sea shall be their border, and they shall join with Asher on the north, and with Issachar from the east.

And Manasseh shall have in Issachar and in Asher Bethsan and its villages, and those dwelling in Dor and its villages, and those dwelling in Mageddo and its villages, and the third part of Napheta and its villages

And the sons of Manasseh were not able to utterly destroy these cities, and the Canaanite began to dwell in this land.

And it came to pass, and when the sons of Israel grew strong, they made the Canaanites subject, but they did not utterly destroy them

And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Why have you allotted to us one lot and one measuring line? And I am a numerous people, and God has blessed me.

And Joshua said to them, If you are a numerous people, go up into the forest and clear it out for yourself; if Mount Ephraim is too narrow for you.

And they said, The hill country of Ephraim will not suffice for us, and the Canaanite who dwells in it has chosen horse and iron, in Bethshan and in its villages in the valley of Jezreel.

And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a many people and have great strength, one lot shall not be for you.

For the forest shall be yours, because it is a forest, and you shall clear it, and it shall be yours; and when you shall destroy the Canaanite, because he has a chosen horse, for you are stronger than he is.
