Joshua 17 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Territory of Manasseh

Jos 17:1This was the lot for the tribe of Menashsheh; for he was the firstborn of Yosef. As for Makhir the firstborn of Menashsheh, the father of Gil`ad, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gil`ad and Bashan.

Jos 17:2

Jos 17:2So the lot was for the rest of the children of Menashsheh according to their families: for the children of Avi-Ezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asri'el, and for the children of Shekhem, and for the children of Hefer, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Menashsheh the son of Yosef according to their families.

Jos 17:3

Jos 17:3But Tzelohchad, the son of Hefer, the son of Gil`ad, the son of Makhir, the son of Menashsheh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlach, and No`ah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirtzah.

Jos 17:4

Jos 17:4They came near before El`azar the Kohen, and before Yehoshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, the LORD commanded Moshe to give us an inheritance among our brothers: therefore according to the mitzvah of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.

Jos 17:5

Jos 17:5There fell ten parts to Menashsheh, besides the land of Gil`ad and Bashan, which is beyond the Yarden;

Jos 17:6

Jos 17:6because the daughters of Menashsheh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gil`ad belonged to the rest of the sons of Menashsheh.

Jos 17:7

Jos 17:7The border of Menashsheh was from Asher to Mikhmetat, which is before Shekhem; and the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of `Entappu'ach.

Jos 17:8

Jos 17:8The land of Tappuach belonged to Menashsheh; but Tappuach on the border of Menashsheh belonged to the children of Efrayim.

Jos 17:9

Jos 17:9The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Efrayim among the cities of Menashsheh: and the border of Menashsheh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out of it were at the sea:

Jos 17:10

Jos 17:10southward it was Efrayim's, and northward it was Menashsheh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Yissakhar on the east.

Jos 17:11

Jos 17:11Menashsheh had in Yissakhar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Yivle`am and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Ta`nakh and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.

Jos 17:12

Jos 17:12Yet the children of Menashsheh couldn't drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Kana`anim would dwell in that land.

Jos 17:13

Jos 17:13It happened, when the children of Yisra'el had grown strong, that they put the Kana`anim to forced labor, and didn't utterly drive them out.

Jos 17:14

Jos 17:14The children of Yosef spoke to Yehoshua, saying, Why have you given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, because hitherto the LORD has blessed me?

Jos 17:15

Jos 17:15Yehoshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzi and of the Refa'im; since the hill-country of Efrayim is too narrow for you.

Jos 17:16

Jos 17:16The children of Yosef said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Kana`anim who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Yizre`el.

Jos 17:17

Jos 17:17Yehoshua spoke to the house of Yosef, even to Efrayim and to Menashsheh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power; you shall not have one lot only:

Jos 17:18

Jos 17:18but the hill-country shall be yours; for though it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and the goings out of it shall be your; for you shall drive out the Kana`anim, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
