There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
the firstborn: Genesis 41:51, Genesis 46:20, Genesis 48:18, Deuteronomy 21:17
Machir: Genesis 50:23, Numbers 26:29, Numbers 27:1, Numbers 32:39, Numbers 32:40, Judges 5:14, 1 Chronicles 2:23, 1 Chronicles 7:14, 1 Chronicles 7:15

There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
the rest: Numbers 26:29-32
the children: Judges 6:11, Judges 8:2, 1 Chronicles 7:18
Abiezer: Numbers 26:30, Jeezer
children of Asriel: Numbers 26:31
children of Hepher: Numbers 26:32
Reciprocal: Numbers 36:1 - Gilead Joshua 17:5 - ten portions Judges 6:34 - Abiezer 1 Kings 4:10 - Hepher

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 Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Numbers 26:33, Numbers 27:1, Numbers 36:2-11
Reciprocal: Numbers 36:1 - Gilead Joshua 17:5 - ten portions

And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Eleazar: Joshua 14:1, Numbers 34:17-29
The Lord commanded: Numbers 27:6, Numbers 27:7, Galatians 3:28
Reciprocal: Numbers 27:4 - Give Joshua 21:1 - Eleazar
5.
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
ten portions: As there were six sons and five daughters, among whom this division was to be made, there should be eleven portions, but Zelophehad, son of Hepher, having left five daughters in his place, neither he nor Hepher is reckoned. The lot of Manasseh therefore was divided into ten parts; five for the five sons of Gilead, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, and Shemida; and five for the five daughters of Zelophehad, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Joshua 17:2, Joshua 17:3, Joshua 17:14
beside: Joshua 13:29-31, Numbers 32:30-42
Reciprocal: Psalms 60:7 - Gilead

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
Reciprocal: Psalms 60:7 - Gilead

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
Asher: Eusebius says this was a town in his time not far from Neapolis, towards Scythopolis or Bethshan; between which towns it is also placed by the old Jerusalem Itinerary.
Michmethah: Situated, probably, east of Shechem, though its precise situation, as well as that of many others, cannot, at this distance of time, be ascertained. Many of these towns were small, and we may rationally conclude, slightly built; and consequently have perished more than two thousand years ago. It would therefore be useless now to look for such places; though in many instances, their ancient names have been preserved, and their sites identified. Several towns even in England, mentioned by Cesar and other ancient writers, are no longer discernible; several have changed their names, and not a few their situation. Joshua 16:6-8
Shechem: Joshua 20:7, Joshua 21:21, Joshua 24:1, Joshua 24:32, Genesis 34:2, Genesis 37:12, Genesis 37:14, Judges 9:1, 1 Kings 12:1, 1 Kings 12:25, 1 Chronicles 6:67
Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 7:29 - Manasseh Psalms 108:7 - Shechem

Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
of Tappuah: Joshua 12:17, Joshua 15:34, Joshua 15:53, Joshua 16:8
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 48:5 - Ephraim

And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
river Kanah: or, brook of reeds, The brook Kanah seem to be what is now called Nahr el Kasab, which falls into the Mediterranean a few miles south of Cesarea of Palestine, mentioned by the Hon. C. L. Irby, and J. Mangles. Joshua 16:8
these cities: Joshua 16:9
the outgoings: Joshua 16:3, Joshua 16:8, Joshua 19:29
the sea: The Mediterranean
10.
Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11.
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
Manasseh: Joshua 16:9, 1 Chronicles 7:29, Beth-shean, the Scythopolis of the Greek and Roman writers, was situated in the plain of Jordan, west of that river, 120 furlongs - south from Tiberias, according to Josephus, and 600 furlongs - north from Jerusalem - 2; Mac 1 Chronicles 12:29. It was the largest city of the Decapolis, and the only one on that side of Jordan. It is now called Bisan, 8 hours or 24 miles from Tiberias; and described by Dr. Richardson, exclusive of its ruins, as a "collection of miserable hovels, containing 200 inhabitants." 1 Samuel 31:10, 1 Samuel 31:12, Beth-shan, 1 Kings 4:12
Ibleam: 2 Kings 9:27, 1 Chronicles 6:70, Bileam
Dor: Dor, according to Eusebius, was situated on the Mediterranean, nine miles from Cesarea Palestine, towards Carmel. The village of Tortura, four leagues north of Cesarea, is supposed to nearly occupy it site. Joshua 12:23, Judges 1:27, 1 Kings 4:11
Endor: 1 Samuel 28:7, Psalms 83:10
Taanach: Joshua 12:21, Judges 5:19
Megiddo: Judges 1:27, Judges 5:19, 1 Kings 4:12, 1 Kings 9:15, 2 Kings 9:27, 2 Kings 23:29, 2 Kings 23:30, 2 Chronicles 35:22, Zechariah 12:11

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
one lot: Genesis 48:22, Numbers 26:34-37, Deuteronomy 33:13-17

And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
If thou be: Luke 12:48
the Perizzites: Genesis 13:7, Exodus 33:2, Ezra 9:1

And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
chariots: Joshua 17:18, Judges 1:19, Judges 4:3

But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
