Chapter 17

1 There was also a lot1486 for the tribe4294 of Manasseh;4519 for he was the firstborn1060 of Joseph;3130 to wit, for Machir4353 the firstborn1060 of Manasseh,4519 the father1 of Gilead:1568 because3588 he was a man376 of war,4421 therefore he had1961 Gilead1568 and Bashan.1316

2 There was also a lot for the rest3498 of the children1121 of Manasseh4519 by their families;4940 for the children1121 of Abiezer,44 and for the children1121 of Helek,2507 and for the children1121 of Asriel,844 and for the children1121 of Shechem,7928 and for the children1121 of Hepher,2660 and for the children1121 of Shemida:8061 these428 were the male2145 children1121 of Manasseh4519 the son1121 of Joseph3130 by their families.4940

3 But Zelophehad,6765 the son1121 of Hepher,2660 the son1121 of Gilead,1568 the son1121 of Machir,4353 the son1121 of Manasseh,4519 had1961 no3808 sons,1121 but daughters:1323 and these428 are the names8034 of his daughters,1323 Mahlah,4244 and Noah,5270 Hoglah,2295 Milcah,4435 and Tirzah.8656

4 And they came7126 near7126 before6440 Eleazar499 the priest,3548 and before6440 Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and before6440 the princes,5387 saying,559 The LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses4872 to give5414 us an inheritance5159 among8432 our brothers.251 Therefore according413 to the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 he gave5414 them an inheritance5159 among8432 the brothers251 of their father.1

5 And there fell5307 ten6235 portions2256 to Manasseh,4519 beside905 the land776 of Gilead1568 and Bashan,1316 which834 were on the other5676 side5676 Jordan;3383

6 Because3588 the daughters1323 of Manasseh4519 had an inheritance5157 among8432 his sons:1121 and the rest3498 of Manasseh's4519 sons1121 had1961 the land776 of Gilead.1568

7 And the coast1366 of Manasseh4519 was from Asher836 to Michmethah,4366 that lies before5921 6440 Shechem;7927 and the border1366 went1980 along on413 the right3225 hand3225 to the inhabitants3427 of Entappuah.5887

8 Now Manasseh4519 had1961 the land776 of Tappuah:8599 but Tappuah8599 on413 the border1366 of Manasseh4519 belonged to the children1121 of Ephraim;669

9 And the coast1366 descended3381 to the river5158 Kanah,7071 southward5045 of the river:5158 these428 cities5892 of Ephraim669 are among8432 the cities5892 of Manasseh:4519 the coast1366 of Manasseh4519 also was on the north6828 side of the river,5158 and the outgoings8444 of it were at the sea:3220

10 Southward5045 it was Ephraim's,669 and northward6828 it was Manasseh's,4519 and the sea3220 is his border;1366 and they met6293 together in Asher836 on the north,6828 and in Issachar3485 on the east.4217

11 And Manasseh4519 had1961 in Issachar3485 and in Asher836 Bethshean1052 and her towns,1323 and Ibleam2991 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Dor1756 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Endor5874 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Taanach8590 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Megiddo4023 and her towns,1323 even three7969 countries.5316

12 Yet the children1121 of Manasseh4519 could3201 not drive3423 out the inhabitants of those428 cities;5892 but the Canaanites3669 would2974 dwell3427 in that land.776

13 Yet it came1961 to pass, when3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 were waxen strong,2388 that they put5414 the Canaanites3669 to tribute,4522 but did not utterly drive3423 them out.

14 And the children1121 of Joseph3130 spoke1696 to Joshua,3091 saying,559 Why4069 have you given5414 me but one259 lot1486 and one259 portion2256 to inherit,5159 seeing I am a great7227 people,5971 for as much5704 as the LORD3068 has blessed1288 me till now?5704

15 And Joshua3091 answered559 them, If518 you be a great7227 people,5971 then get5927 you up to the wood3293 country, and cut1254 down for yourself there8033 in the land776 of the Perizzites6522 and of the giants,7497 if3588 mount2022 Ephraim669 be too narrow213 for you.

16 And the children1121 of Joseph3130 said,559 The hill2022 is not enough4672 for us: and all3605 the Canaanites3669 that dwell3427 in the land776 of the valley6010 have chariots7393 of iron,1270 both they who834 are of Bethshean1052 and her towns,1323 and they who834 are of the valley6010 of Jezreel.3157

17 And Joshua3091 spoke559 to the house1004 of Joseph,3130 even to Ephraim669 and to Manasseh,4519 saying,559 You are a great7227 people,5971 and have great1419 power:3581 you shall not have1961 one259 lot1486 only:

18 But the mountain2022 shall be yours; for it is a wood,3293 and you shall cut1254 it down: and the outgoings8444 of it shall be yours: for you shall drive3423 out the Canaanites,3669 though3588 they have iron1270 chariots,7393 and though3588 they be strong.2389

Chapter 17

1 AND Gilead became the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph; to Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead; because he was the first-born and a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Mathnin.

2 And became also the portion for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the descendants of Abiezer and for the descendants of Helek and for the descendants of Neshrael and for the descendants of Shopam and for the descendants of Hepher and for the descendants of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by 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 Joah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes of Israel, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren; so he gave us according to the command of the LORD, among the brothers of our father. Now therefore give us an inheritance among the brethren of our father. So Joshua gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Mathnin, which were on the other side of the Jordan;

6 Because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the land of Gilead fell to the lot of the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

7 And the border of Manasseh was from the boundary of Maacath, which lies on the right hand of the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

8 Thus their land was in the region of Tappuah and Patah, which became the boundary to the descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and to the Ephraimites;

9 And the boundary went down to the river of the Sea, to the south of the river of the cities which belong to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh; and the border of Manasseh ran on the north side of the river, and the outgoings thereof reached to the sea;

10 The land to the south went to Ephraim, and that to the north to Manasseh, and the sea as their border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

11 And Manasseh had opposite Issachar and Asher, Beth-shean and its towns, and Neb-leam and its towns, and En-dor and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and Megiddo and its towns, three districts.

12 Yet the Israelites could not destroy these cities, because the Canaanites took refuge and dwelt in them.

13 But when the children of Israel became strong, they subdued the Canaanites and made them pay tribute; but did not utterly destroy them.

14 And the descendants of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given us but one portion to inherit, seeing we are a numerous people, forasmuch as the LORD has blessed us hitherto?

15 Joshua said to them, If you are a numerous people, then go up on the side of the mountain, and choose for yourselves a portion in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for you.

16 And the descendants of Joseph said, The mountain and the cities of the Perizzites are not enough for us; for the Canaanites still dwell in the land of the valley, and in Beth-shean and its towns, and in the valley of Jezreel.

17 Then Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, You are a numerous people, and have a great power; if one portion is not enough for you,

18 Then choose for yourselves the mountain, and it will be enough for you, and the slopes of the mountain and its limits shall be yours; and you shall destroy the Canaanites and the Perizzites, though they have great iron chariots, and though they are strong.

1 There was also a lot1486 for the tribe4294 of Manasseh;4519 for he was the firstborn1060 of Joseph;3130 to wit, for Machir4353 the firstborn1060 of Manasseh,4519 the father1 of Gilead:1568 because3588 he was a man376 of war,4421 therefore he had1961 Gilead1568 and Bashan.1316

1 AND Gilead became the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph; to Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead; because he was the first-born and a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Mathnin.

2 There was also a lot for the rest3498 of the children1121 of Manasseh4519 by their families;4940 for the children1121 of Abiezer,44 and for the children1121 of Helek,2507 and for the children1121 of Asriel,844 and for the children1121 of Shechem,7928 and for the children1121 of Hepher,2660 and for the children1121 of Shemida:8061 these428 were the male2145 children1121 of Manasseh4519 the son1121 of Joseph3130 by their families.4940

2 And became also the portion for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the descendants of Abiezer and for the descendants of Helek and for the descendants of Neshrael and for the descendants of Shopam and for the descendants of Hepher and for the descendants of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

3 But Zelophehad,6765 the son1121 of Hepher,2660 the son1121 of Gilead,1568 the son1121 of Machir,4353 the son1121 of Manasseh,4519 had1961 no3808 sons,1121 but daughters:1323 and these428 are the names8034 of his daughters,1323 Mahlah,4244 and Noah,5270 Hoglah,2295 Milcah,4435 and Tirzah.8656

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 Joah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

4 And they came7126 near7126 before6440 Eleazar499 the priest,3548 and before6440 Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and before6440 the princes,5387 saying,559 The LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses4872 to give5414 us an inheritance5159 among8432 our brothers.251 Therefore according413 to the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 he gave5414 them an inheritance5159 among8432 the brothers251 of their father.1

4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes of Israel, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren; so he gave us according to the command of the LORD, among the brothers of our father. Now therefore give us an inheritance among the brethren of our father. So Joshua gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

5 And there fell5307 ten6235 portions2256 to Manasseh,4519 beside905 the land776 of Gilead1568 and Bashan,1316 which834 were on the other5676 side5676 Jordan;3383

5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Mathnin, which were on the other side of the Jordan;

6 Because3588 the daughters1323 of Manasseh4519 had an inheritance5157 among8432 his sons:1121 and the rest3498 of Manasseh's4519 sons1121 had1961 the land776 of Gilead.1568

6 Because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the land of Gilead fell to the lot of the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

7 And the coast1366 of Manasseh4519 was from Asher836 to Michmethah,4366 that lies before5921 6440 Shechem;7927 and the border1366 went1980 along on413 the right3225 hand3225 to the inhabitants3427 of Entappuah.5887

7 And the border of Manasseh was from the boundary of Maacath, which lies on the right hand of the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

8 Now Manasseh4519 had1961 the land776 of Tappuah:8599 but Tappuah8599 on413 the border1366 of Manasseh4519 belonged to the children1121 of Ephraim;669

8 Thus their land was in the region of Tappuah and Patah, which became the boundary to the descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and to the Ephraimites;

9 And the coast1366 descended3381 to the river5158 Kanah,7071 southward5045 of the river:5158 these428 cities5892 of Ephraim669 are among8432 the cities5892 of Manasseh:4519 the coast1366 of Manasseh4519 also was on the north6828 side of the river,5158 and the outgoings8444 of it were at the sea:3220

9 And the boundary went down to the river of the Sea, to the south of the river of the cities which belong to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh; and the border of Manasseh ran on the north side of the river, and the outgoings thereof reached to the sea;

10 Southward5045 it was Ephraim's,669 and northward6828 it was Manasseh's,4519 and the sea3220 is his border;1366 and they met6293 together in Asher836 on the north,6828 and in Issachar3485 on the east.4217

10 The land to the south went to Ephraim, and that to the north to Manasseh, and the sea as their border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

11 And Manasseh4519 had1961 in Issachar3485 and in Asher836 Bethshean1052 and her towns,1323 and Ibleam2991 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Dor1756 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Endor5874 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Taanach8590 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Megiddo4023 and her towns,1323 even three7969 countries.5316

11 And Manasseh had opposite Issachar and Asher, Beth-shean and its towns, and Neb-leam and its towns, and En-dor and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and Megiddo and its towns, three districts.

12 Yet the children1121 of Manasseh4519 could3201 not drive3423 out the inhabitants of those428 cities;5892 but the Canaanites3669 would2974 dwell3427 in that land.776

12 Yet the Israelites could not destroy these cities, because the Canaanites took refuge and dwelt in them.

13 Yet it came1961 to pass, when3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 were waxen strong,2388 that they put5414 the Canaanites3669 to tribute,4522 but did not utterly drive3423 them out.

13 But when the children of Israel became strong, they subdued the Canaanites and made them pay tribute; but did not utterly destroy them.

14 And the children1121 of Joseph3130 spoke1696 to Joshua,3091 saying,559 Why4069 have you given5414 me but one259 lot1486 and one259 portion2256 to inherit,5159 seeing I am a great7227 people,5971 for as much5704 as the LORD3068 has blessed1288 me till now?5704

14 And the descendants of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given us but one portion to inherit, seeing we are a numerous people, forasmuch as the LORD has blessed us hitherto?

15 And Joshua3091 answered559 them, If518 you be a great7227 people,5971 then get5927 you up to the wood3293 country, and cut1254 down for yourself there8033 in the land776 of the Perizzites6522 and of the giants,7497 if3588 mount2022 Ephraim669 be too narrow213 for you.

15 Joshua said to them, If you are a numerous people, then go up on the side of the mountain, and choose for yourselves a portion in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for you.

16 And the children1121 of Joseph3130 said,559 The hill2022 is not enough4672 for us: and all3605 the Canaanites3669 that dwell3427 in the land776 of the valley6010 have chariots7393 of iron,1270 both they who834 are of Bethshean1052 and her towns,1323 and they who834 are of the valley6010 of Jezreel.3157

16 And the descendants of Joseph said, The mountain and the cities of the Perizzites are not enough for us; for the Canaanites still dwell in the land of the valley, and in Beth-shean and its towns, and in the valley of Jezreel.

17 And Joshua3091 spoke559 to the house1004 of Joseph,3130 even to Ephraim669 and to Manasseh,4519 saying,559 You are a great7227 people,5971 and have great1419 power:3581 you shall not have1961 one259 lot1486 only:

17 Then Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, You are a numerous people, and have a great power; if one portion is not enough for you,

18 But the mountain2022 shall be yours; for it is a wood,3293 and you shall cut1254 it down: and the outgoings8444 of it shall be yours: for you shall drive3423 out the Canaanites,3669 though3588 they have iron1270 chariots,7393 and though3588 they be strong.2389

18 Then choose for yourselves the mountain, and it will be enough for you, and the slopes of the mountain and its limits shall be yours; and you shall destroy the Canaanites and the Perizzites, though they have great iron chariots, and though they are strong.
