And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house.

And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.

But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated wife as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. Also the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph's knees.

The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; and Machir begot Gilead; of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites.

Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it.

Out of Ephraim were those whose roots were in Amalek. After you, Benjamin, with your peoples, from Machir came down governors, and from Zebulun those who bear the staff of scribes.

(Geshur and Syria took from them the towns of Jair, with Kenath and its daughter- villages; sixty cities.) All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead.

The sons of Manasseh: his Syrian concubine had borne him Asriel and Machir the father of Gilead.

Machir took as his wife the sister of Huppim and Shuppim, whose name was Maachah. The name of the second was Zelophehad, and Zelophehad had daughters.

The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; and Machir begot Gilead; of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites.

And Moses gave to the sons of Gad, to the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with its cities within the borders, the cities of the surrounding land.

And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it.

The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the giants.

I also gave Gilead to Machir.
