Manasseh

and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;'

And born to Joseph in the land of Egypt (whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him) are Manasseh and Ephraim.

And it cometh to pass, after these things, that one saith to Joseph, `Lo, thy father is sick;' and he taketh his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.

`And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they are ; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they are mine;

and Joseph taketh them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards Israel's right, and bringeth them nigh to him.

And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth it upon the head of Ephraim, who is the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh is the first-born.

And Joseph seeth that his father setteth his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supporteth the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;

and he blesseth them in that day, saying, `By thee doth Israel bless, saying, God set thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;' and he setteth Ephraim before Manasseh.

and Joseph looketh on Ephraim's sons of the third generation ; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.

`For the sons of Joseph--for Ephraim: Elishama son of Ammihud: for Manasseh--Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.

Of the sons of Manasseh--their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host--

their numbered ones, for the tribe of Manasseh, are two and thirty thousand and two hundred.

And by him is the tribe of Manasseh; and the prince of the sons of Manasseh is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;

On the eighth day, the prince of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur; --

And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh is Gamalial son of Pedahzur.

For the tribe of Joseph, (for the tribe of Manasseh,) Gaddi son of Susi.

Sons of Joseph by their families are Manasseh and Ephraim.

Sons of Manasseh: of Machir is the family of the Machirite; and Machir hath begotten Gilead; of Gilead is the family of the Gileadite.

These are families of Manasseh, and their numbered ones are two and fifty thousand and seven hundred.

And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near--and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah--

And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.

And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who is in it;

and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.

And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them `Towns of Jair;'

for the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received, by the house of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers; and the half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;
