²⁹ Sons of Manasseh: of Machir `is' the family of the Machirite; and Machir hath begotten Gilead; of Gilead `is' the family of the Gileadite.

¹ And the lot is for the tribe of Manasseh (for he `is' first-born of Joseph), for Machir first-born of Manasseh, father of Gilead, for he hath been a man of war, and his are Gilead and Bashan.

¹ And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, come near, and speak before Moses, and before the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel,

¹⁴ Sons of Manasseh: Ashriel, whom Jaladah his Aramaean concubine bare, with Machir father of Gilead.

¹⁵ And Machir took wives for Huppim and for Shuppim, and the name of the one `is' Maachah, and the name of the second Zelophehad, and Zelophehad hath daughters.

¹⁶ And Maachah wife of Machir beareth a son and calleth his name Peresh, and the name of his brother `is' Sheresh, and his sons `are' Ulam and Rakem.

¹⁷ And son of Ulam: Bedan. These `are' sons of Gilead son of Machir, son of Manasseh.

¹⁸ And his sister Hammolecheth bare Ishhod, and Abiezer, and Mahalah.

¹⁴ And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth `it' upon the head of Ephraim, who `is' the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh `is' the first-born.

³⁹ And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who `is' in it;

⁴⁰ and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.

¹⁵ And to Machir I have given Gilead.

¹⁴ Out of Ephraim their root `is' against Amalek. After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers, And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a writer.
