5 A tribo de Manassés recebeu dez quinhões de terra, além de Gileade e Basã, que ficam a leste do Jordão,

Josué 17:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 17:5

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of
Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan
The lot which fell to the half tribe of Manasseh was divided into ten parts: according to the Jewish writers, the six families before mentioned had six parts, and the daughters of Zelophehad had four parts; one on the account of Zelophehad their father, two on the account of their grandfather Hepher, who they say was the firstborn, and one on account of their uncle, their father's brother, who died in the wilderness without children; so Jarchi and Kimchi relate from the Talmud ^F11; but the true case seems to be this, there were six portions for the six families, but there being no sons in Hepher's family, his part was divided into five, and given to the five daughters of Zelophehad:

beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side
Jordan:
which were given to the other half tribe, as before observed, ( Joshua 13:29-31 ) .

Josué 17:5 In-Context

3 Zelofeade, porém, filho de Héfer, neto de Gileade, bisneto de Maquir, trineto de Manassés, não teve nenhum filho, somente filhas. Seus nomes eram Maalá, Noa, Hogla, Milca e Tirza.

4 Elas foram ao sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué, filho de Num, e aos líderes, e disseram: “O SENHOR ordenou a Moisés que nos desse uma herança entre os nossos parentes”. Josué deu-lhes então uma herança entre os irmãos de seu pai, de acordo com a ordem do SENHOR.

5 A tribo de Manassés recebeu dez quinhões de terra, além de Gileade e Basã, que ficam a leste do Jordão,

6 pois tanto as filhas de Manassés como os filhos dele receberam herança. A terra de Gileade ficou para os outros descendentes de Manassés.

7 O território de Manassés estendia-se desde Aser até Micmetá, a leste de Siquém. A fronteira ia dali para o sul, chegando até o povo que vivia em En-Tapua.
