Joshua 17:1-6

1Then allotment was made to the people of Manasseh, for he was athe firstborn of Joseph. To bMachir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, cwere allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war. 2And allotments were made dto the rest of the people of Manasseh by their clans, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph, by their clans.

3Now eZelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, and these are the names of his daughters: fMahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4They approached gEleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the leaders and said, h“The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So according to the mouth of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father. 5Thus there fell to Manasseh ten portions, besides ithe land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan, 6because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was allotted to the rest of the people of Manasseh.
