NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Joshua 17

Territory of Manasseh

1

Now this was the loth1486 for the tribeh4294 of  aManassehh4519, for he was the firstbornh1060 of Josephh3130. To Machirh4353 the firstbornh1060 of Manassehh4519, the fatherh1 of Gileadh1568,  1were allottedh1961 Gileadh1568 and Bashanh1316, becauseh3588 he was a manh376 of warh4421.

2

So the lot was made for the resth3498 of the sonsh1121 of Manassehh4519 according to their familiesh4940: for the sonsh1121 of Abiezerh44 and for the sonsh1121 of Helekh2507a and for the sonsh1121 of Asrielh844 and for the sonsh1121 of Shechemh7928 and for the sonsh1121 of Hepherh2660a and for the sonsh1121 of Shemidah8061; theseh428 were the maleh2145  1descendantsh1121 of Manassehh4519 the sonh1121 of Josephh3130 according to their familiesh4940.

3

However,  aZelophehadh6765, the sonh1121 of Hepherh2660a, the sonh1121 of Gileadh1568, the sonh1121 of Machirh4353, the sonh1121 of Manassehh4519, hadh1961 noh3808 sonsh1121, onlyh3588h518 daughtersh1323; and theseh428 are the namesh8034 of his daughtersh1323: Mahlahh4244 and Noahh5270, Hoglahh2295, Milcahh4435 and Tirzahh8656.

4

They cameh7126 nearh7126 beforeh6440 Eleazarh499 the priesth3548 and beforeh6440 Joshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126 and beforeh6440 the leadersh5387a, sayingh559, "The LORDh3068 commandedh6680 Mosesh4872 to giveh5414 us an inheritanceh5159 amongh8432 our brothersh251." So  aaccordingh413 to the  1commandh6310 of the LORDh3068 he gaveh5414 them an inheritanceh5159 amongh8432 their father'sh1 brothersh251.

5

Thus there fellh5307 tenh6235 portionsh2256a to Manassehh4519, besidesh905h4480 the landh776 of Gileadh1568 and Bashanh1316, whichh834 is beyondh4480h5676 the Jordanh3383,

6

becauseh3588 the daughtersh1323 of Manassehh4519 receivedh5157 an inheritanceh5159 amongh8432 his sonsh1121. And the  alandh776 of Gileadh1568 belongedh1961 to the resth3498 of the sonsh1121 of Manassehh4519.

7

The borderh1366 of Manassehh4519  1ranh1961 from Asherh836 to Michmethathh4366 whichh834 was easth5921h6440 of Shechemh7927; then the borderh1366 wenth1980  2southwardh3225 to the inhabitantsh3427 of En-tappuahh5887.

8

The landh776 of Tappuahh8599 belongedh1961 to Manassehh4519, but  aTappuahh8599 on the borderh1366 of Manassehh4519 belonged to the sonsh1121 of Ephraimh669.

9

The  aborderh1366 wenth3381 downh3381 to the  1brookh5158a of Kanahh7071, southwardh5045 of the  1brookh5158a (theseh428 citiesh5892b belonged to Ephraimh669 amongh8432 the citiesh5892b of Manassehh4519), and the borderh1366 of Manassehh4519 was on the northh6828 sideh6828 of the  1brookh5158a and  2it endedh1961h8444 at the seah3220.

10

The southh5045 sideh5045 belonged to Ephraimh669 and the northh6828 sideh6828 to Manassehh4519, and the seah3220 was  1their borderh1366; and they reachedh6293 to Asherh836 on the northh6828 and to Issacharh3485 on the easth4217.

11

In Issacharh3485 and in Asherh836,  aManassehh4519 hadh1961 Beth-sheanh1052 and its townsh1323 and Ibleamh2991 and its townsh1323, and the inhabitantsh3427 of Dorh1756 and its townsh1323, and the inhabitantsh3427 of En-dorh5874 and its townsh1323, and the inhabitantsh3427 of Taanachh8590 and its townsh1323, and the inhabitantsh3427 of Megiddoh4023b and its townsh1323, the thirdh7969 is  bNaphethh5316.

12

 aBut the sonsh1121 of Manassehh4519 couldh3201 not takeh3423 possessionh3423 of theseh428 citiesh5892b, because the Canaanitesh3669a persistedh2974 in livingh3427 in that landh776.

13

It cameh1961 about whenh3588 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 becameh2388 strongh2388,  athey puth5414 the Canaanitesh3669a to forcedh4522 laborh4522, but they did not  1driveh3423 them out completelyh3423.

14

Then the  asonsh1121 of Josephh3130 spokeh1696 to Joshuah3091, sayingh559, "Whyh4069 have you givenh5414 me only oneh259 loth1486 and oneh259 portionh2256a for an inheritanceh5159, since I am a numeroush7227a peopleh5971a whomh834 the LORDh3068 has thush3541 farh5704 blessedh1288?"

15

Joshuah3091 saidh559 to them, "Ifh518 you are a numeroush7227a peopleh5971a, goh5927  1up to the foresth3293a and  2clearh1254a a place for yourself thereh8033 in the landh776 of the Perizzitesh6522 and of the Rephaimh7497, sinceh3588 the hillh2022 countryh2022 of Ephraimh669 is too narrowh213 for you."

16

The sonsh1121 of Josephh3130 saidh559, "The hillh2022 countryh2022 is not enoughh4672 for us, and allh3605 the Canaanitesh3669a who liveh3427 in the valleyh6010 landh776 have  achariotsh7393 of ironh1270, both those whoh834 are in Beth-sheanh1052 and its townsh1323 and those whoh834 are in the valleyh6010 of Jezreelh3157."

17

Joshuah3091 spokeh559 to the househ1004 of Josephh3130, to Ephraimh669 and Manassehh4519, sayingh559, "You are a numeroush7227a peopleh5971a and have greath1419 powerh3581b; you shall not haveh1961 oneh259 loth1486 only,

18

but the hillh2022 countryh2022 shall be yours. For though it is a foresth3293a, you shall  1clearh1254a it, and to its  2farthesth8444 bordersh8444 it shall be yours; for you shall  3driveh3423 out the Canaanitesh3669a, evenh3588 thoughh3588 they have  achariotsh7393 of ironh1270 and thoughh3588 they are strongh2389."
