Bible Verses About The Tribe Of Manasseh

"Yosef is a fruitful plant, a fruitful plant by a spring, with branches climbing over the wall.

The archers attacked him fiercely, shooting at him and pressing him hard;

but his bow remained taut; and his arms were made nimble by the hands of the Mighty One of Ya'akov, from there, from the Shepherd, the Stone of Isra'el,

by the God of your father, who will help you, by El Shaddai, who will bless you with blessings from heaven above, or: that says beautiful words. blessings from the deep, lying below, blessings from the breasts and the womb.

The blessings of your father are more powerful than the blessings of my parents, extending to the farthest of the everlasting hills; they will be on the head of Yosef, on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

On the eighth day was Gamli'el the son of P'dahtzur, leader of the descendants of M'nasheh.

He offered one silver dish weighing 130 shekels [three-and-a-quarter pounds] and one silver basin of seventy shekels (using the sanctuary shekel) [one-and-three-quarters pounds], both full of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering;

one gold pan of ten shekels [one-quarter pound], full of incense;

one young bull, one ram, one male lamb in its first year as a burnt offering,

one male goat as a sin offering,

and, for the sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs in their first year. This was the offering of Gamli'el the son of P'dahtzur.

The descendants of M'nasheh were: of Makhir, the family of the Makhiri. Makhir was the father of Gil'ad; of Gil'ad, the family of the Gil'adi.

These are the descendants of Gil'ad: of I'ezer, the family of the I'ezri; of Helek, the family of the Helki;

of Asri'el, the family of the Asri'eli; of Sh'khem, the family of the Shikhmi;

of Sh'mida, the family of the Sh'mida'i; and of Hefer, the family of the Hefri.

Tz'lof'chad the son of Hefer had no sons but daughters; the names of the daughters of Tz'lof'chad were Machlah, No'ah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirtzah.

Then the daughters of Tz'lof'chad the son of Hefer, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of M'nasheh, of the families of M'nasheh, the son of Yosef, approached. These were the names of his daughters: Machlah, No'ah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirtzah.

They stood in front of Moshe, El'azar the cohen, the leaders and the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,

"Our father died in the desert. He wasn't part of the group who assembled themselves to rebel against ADONAI in Korach's group, but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.

Why should the name of our father be eliminated from his family just because he didn't have a son? Give us property to possess along with the brothers of our father."

Moshe brought their cause before ADONAI.

ADONAI answered Moshe,

"The daughters of Tz'lof'chad are right in what they say. You must give them property to be inherited along with that of their father's brothers; have what their father would have inherited pass to them.

The descendants of Machir the son of M'nasheh went to Gil'ad and conquered it, dispossessing the Emori who were there.

Moshe gave Gil'ad to Machir the son of M'nasheh, and he lived in it.
