Joshua 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 17:6

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his
sons
Which occasioned such a number of portions; the daughters of Zelophehad are meant, who descended from Manasseh:

and the rest of Manasseh, some had the land of Gilead;
that is, those besides the six families before expressed, namely, the two families of the Machirites and Gileadites, ( Numbers 26:29 ) .

Joshua 17:6 In-Context

4 They went to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua son of Nun and all the leaders. They said, "The Lord told Moses to give us land like the men received." So Eleazar obeyed the Lord and gave the daughters some land, just like the brothers of their father.

5 So the tribe of Manasseh had ten sections of land west of the Jordan River and two more sections, Gilead and Bashan, on the east side of the Jordan River.

6 The daughters of Manasseh received land just as the sons did. Gilead was given to the rest of the families of Manasseh.

7 The lands of Manasseh were in the area between Asher and Micmethath, near Shechem. The border went south to the En Tappuah area,

8 which belonged to Manasseh, except for the town of Tappuah. It was along the border of Manasseh's land and belonged to the sons of Ephraim.
