1 Now this was the lot for the tribe of 1Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allottedGilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.
2
So the lot was made for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to 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 were the maledescendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
3
However, 2Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, hadnosons, only*daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

They camenearbeforeEleazar the priest and beforeJoshua the son of Nun and before the leaders, saying, "The LORDcommandedMoses to give us an inheritanceamong our brothers." So 3according to the command of the LORD he gave them an inheritanceamong their father'sbrothers.
5
Thus there felltenportions to Manasseh, besides* the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond* the Jordan,
6
because the daughters of Manassehreceived an inheritanceamong his sons. And the 4land of Gileadbelonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
