Joshua 17:1-18

17:1

There was also a lot
<01486>

for the tribe
<04294>

of Manasseh
<04519>_;

for he [was] the firstborn
<01060>

of Joseph
<03130>_;

[to wit], for Machir
<04353>

the firstborn
<01060>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

the father
<01>

of Gilead
<01568>_:

because he was a man
<0376>

of war
<04421>_,

therefore he had Gilead
<01568>

and Bashan
<01316>_.

17:2

There was also [a lot] for the rest
<03498> (8737)

of the children
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>

by their families
<04940>_;

for the children
<01121>

of Abiezer
<044>_,

and for the children
<01121>

of Helek
<02507>_,

and for the children
<01121>

of Asriel
<0844>_,

and for the children
<01121>

of Shechem
<07928>_,

and for the children
<01121>

of Hepher
<02660>_,

and for the children
<01121>

of Shemida
<08061>_:

these [were] the male
<02145>

children
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>

the son
<01121>

of Joseph
<03130>

by their families
<04940>_.

{Abiezer: also called, Jeezer}

17:3

But Zelophehad
<06765>_,

the son
<01121>

of Hepher
<02660>_,

the son
<01121>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

the son
<01121>

of Machir
<04353>_,

the son
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

had no sons
<01121>_,

but daughters
<01323>_:

and these [are] the names
<08034>

of his daughters
<01323>_,

Mahlah
<04244>_,

and Noah
<05270>_,

Hoglah
<02295>_,

Milcah
<04435>_,

and Tirzah
<08656>_.

17:4

And they came near
<07126> (8799)

before
<06440>

Eleazar
<0499>

the priest
<03548>_,

and before
<06440>

Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

and before
<06440>

the princes
<05387>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

Moses
<04872>

to give
<05414> (8800)

us an inheritance
<05159>

among
<08432>

our brethren
<0251>_.

Therefore according to the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

he gave
<05414> (8799)

them an inheritance
<05159>

among
<08432>

the brethren
<0251>

of their father
<01>_.

17:5

And there fell
<05307> (8799)

ten
<06235>

portions
<02256>

to Manasseh
<04519>_,

beside the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>

and Bashan
<01316>_,

which [were] on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_;

17:6

Because the daughters
<01323>

of Manasseh
<04519>

had
<05157> (8804)

an inheritance
<05159>

among
<08432>

his sons
<01121>_:

and the rest
<03498> (8737)

of Manasseh's
<04519>

sons
<01121>

had the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_.

17:7

And the coast
<01366>

of Manasseh
<04519>

was from Asher
<0836>

to Michmethah
<04366>_,

that [lieth] before
<06440>

Shechem
<07927>_;

and the border
<01366>

went along
<01980> (8804)

on the right hand
<03225>

unto the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Entappuah
<05887>_.

17:8

[Now] Manasseh
<04519>

had the land
<0776>

of Tappuah
<08599>_:

but Tappuah
<08599>

on the border
<01366>

of Manasseh
<04519>

[belonged] to the children
<01121>

of Ephraim
<0669>_;

17:9

And the coast
<01366>

descended
<03381> (8804)

unto the river
<05158>

Kanah
<07071>_,

southward
<05045>

of the river
<05158>_:

these cities
<05892>

of Ephraim
<0669>

[are] among
<08432>

the cities
<05892>

of Manasseh
<04519>_:

the coast
<01366>

of Manasseh
<04519>

also [was] on the north side
<06828>

of the river
<05158>_,

and the outgoings
<08444>

of it were at the sea
<03220>_:

{river Kanah: or, brook of reeds}

17:10

Southward
<05045>

[it was] Ephraim's
<0669>_,

and northward
<06828>

[it was] Manasseh's
<04519>_,

and the sea
<03220>

is his border
<01366>_;

and they met together
<06293> (8799)

in Asher
<0836>

on the north
<06828>_,

and in Issachar
<03485>

on the east
<04217>_.

17:11

And Manasseh
<04519>

had in Issachar
<03485>

and in Asher
<0836>

Bethshean
<01052>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and Ibleam
<02991>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Dor
<01756>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Endor
<05874>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Taanach
<08590>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Megiddo
<04023>

and her towns
<01323>_,

[even] three
<07969>

countries
<05316>_.

17:12

Yet the children
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>

could
<03201> (8804)

not drive out
<03423> (8687)

[the inhabitants of] those cities
<05892>_;

but the Canaanites
<03669>

would
<02974> (8686)

dwell
<03427> (8800)

in that land
<0776>_.

17:13

Yet it came to pass, when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were waxen strong
<02388> (8804)_,

that they put
<05414> (8799)

the Canaanites
<03669>

to tribute
<04522>_;

but did not utterly
<03423> (8687)

drive them out
<03423> (8689)_.

17:14

And the children
<01121>

of Joseph
<03130>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why hast thou given
<05414> (8804)

me [but] one
<0259>

lot
<01486>

and one
<0259>

portion
<02256>

to inherit
<05159>_,

seeing I [am] a great
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

forasmuch as
<05704>

the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

me hitherto
<03541>_?

17:15

And Joshua
<03091>

answered
<0559> (8799)

them, If thou [be] a great
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

[then] get thee up
<05927> (8798)

to the wood
<03293>

[country], and cut down
<01254> (8765)

for thyself there in the land
<0776>

of the Perizzites
<06522>

and of the giants
<07497>_,

if mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>

be too narrow
<0213> (8804)

for thee. {giants: or, Rephaims}

17:16

And the children
<01121>

of Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The hill
<02022>

is not enough
<04672> (8735)

for us: and all the Canaanites
<03669>

that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in the land
<0776>

of the valley
<06010>

have chariots
<07393>

of iron
<01270>_,

[both they] who [are] of Bethshean
<01052>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and [they] who [are] of the valley
<06010>

of Jezreel
<03157>_.

17:17

And Joshua
<03091>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

[even] to Ephraim
<0669>

and to Manasseh
<04519>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou [art] a great
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

and hast great
<01419>

power
<03581>_:

thou shalt not have one
<0259>

lot
<01486>

[only]:

17:18

But the mountain
<02022>

shall be thine; for it [is] a wood
<03293>_,

and thou shalt cut it down
<01254> (8765)_:

and the outgoings
<08444>

of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out
<03423> (8686)

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

though they have iron
<01270>

chariots
<07393>_,

[and] though they [be] strong
<02389>_.
