the daughters of Salphaad. 14. with an enlargement of inheritance
to the same tribes of Ephraim and Manasses.
1 And this lotte fel to the tribe of Manasses (for he is the
first borne of Ioseph) to Machir the first borne of Manasses
the father of Gallad, who was a warlike man, and had
for possession Galaad and Basan:
2 and to the rest of the children
of Manasses according to their families, to the children
of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children
of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children
of Hepher, and to the children of Semida. these are the children
of Manasses the sonne of Ioseph, males by their kinredes
3 But Salphaad the sonne of Hepher the sonne of Galaad
the sonne of Machir the sonne of Manasses had no
sonnes, but onlie daughters: whose names be these, Maala,
and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.
4 And they
came in the presence of Eleazar the priest, and of Iosue the
sonne of Nun, and of the princes, saying: our Lord commanded
by the hand of Moyses, that a possession should be
geuen vs in the middes of our brethren. And he gaue them
according to the commandement of our Lord a possession in
the middes of their fathers brethren.
5 And the cordes fel
to Manasses ten, beside the Land of Galaad and Basan beyond
Iordan.
6 For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance
in the middes of his sonnes. And the Land of Galaad
fel to the lotte of the children of Manasses that remayned.
7 And the border of Manasses from Aser, was Machmat hath
-- --
Ephraim and Manasses portions.
which looketh to Sichem: and goeth out on the right hand
beside the inhabitantes of the Fountaine of Taphua.
8 For in the lotte of Manasses was fallen the Land of
Taphua, note which is beside the borders of Manasses,
the childrens of Ephraim.
9 And the border of the
Reede valley went downe into the south of the torrent of
the cities of Ephraim, which are in the middes of the cities
of Manasses: the border of Manasses on the North of the
torrent, and the issue therof goeth to the sea:
10 so that the
possession of Ephraim is on the South, and on the North of
Manasses, and the sea incloseth both, and they be ioyned one
to an other in the tribe of Aser on the Noth, and in the tribe
of Issachar on the East.
11 And the inheritance of Manasses
in Issachar and in Aser was Bethsan and the villages therof,
and Ieblaam with the villages therof, and the inhabitantes of
Dor, with the townes therof, the inhabitantes also of Endor
with the townes therof. and in like maner the inhabitantes
of Thenac with the townes therof, and the inhabitantes of
Mageddo with the townes therof, and the third part of the
citie of Nopheth.
12 Neither could the children of Manasses
ouerthrow the cities, but the Chananeite began to dwel in
note his Land.
13 But after that the children of Israel grew to
be strong, they subdewed the Chananeites, and made them
their tributaries, neither did they kil them.
14 And the children
of Ioseph spake to Iosue, and said: Why hast thou geuen
me the possession of one lotte and corde, wheras I am of so
great a multitude, and our Lord hath blessed me?
15 To whom
Iosue said: If thou be a geat people, goe vp into the wood,
and cutte thee roome in the Land of the Pherezeite and Raphaims:
because the possession of mount Ephraim is narrow
for thee.
16 To whom the children of Ioseph answered:
We can not goe vp to the mountaines, wheras the Chananeite
that dwel in the champayne countrie, wherein are situated
Bethsan with the townes therof, and Iezrael possessing the
middes of the valley, vse yron chariottes.
17 And Iosue said
to the house of Ioseph, of Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art
a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not haue one
lotte,
18 but thou shalt passe to the mountaine, and shalt cutte
and make glades for thee to inhabite: and mayest procede
farder, when thou hast subuerted the Chananeite, whom
thou sayest to haue yron chariotes, and to be very strong.
