Old Testament
1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph: namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war; therefore he was given Gilead and Bashan.
1 ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο τὰ ὅρια φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασσῆ, ὅτι οὗτος πρωτότοκος τῷ Ἰωσήφ· τῷ Μαχὶρ πρωτοτόκῳ Μανασσῆ πατρὶ Γαλαάδ (ἀνὴρ γὰρ πολεμιστὴς ἦν) ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι καὶ ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι.
2 And there was a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, the children of Helek, the children of Asriel, the children of Shechem, the children of Hepher, and the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
2 καὶ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσῆ τοῖς λοιποῖς κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰεζὲρ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κελὲζ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἱεζιὴλ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συχὲμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συμαρὶμ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ὀφέρ· οὗτοι ἄρσενες κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν.
3 But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
3 καὶ τῷ Σαλπαὰδ υἱῷ Ὀφὲρ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοί, ἀλλ' ἢ θυγατέρες. καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θυγατέρων Σαλπαάδ· Μααλὰ καὶ Νουὰ καὶ Ἐγλὰ καὶ Μελχὰ καὶ Θερσά.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” Therefore, according to the commandment of the LORD, he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers.
4 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐναντίον Ἐλεάζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἐναντίον Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων λέγουσαι· ὁ Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο διά χειρὸς Μωυσῆ δοῦναι ἡμῖν κληρονομίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν. καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου κλῆρος ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
5 Ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan,
5 καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ σχοινισμὸς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Ἀνάσσα καὶ πεδίον Λαβὲκ ἐκ τῆς γῆς Γαλαάδ, ἥ ἐστι πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου·
6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
6 ὅτι θυγατέρες υἱῶν Μανασσῆ ἐκληρονόμησαν κλῆρον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν· ἡ δὲ γῆ Γαλαὰδ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσῆ τοῖς καταλελειμμένοις.
7 And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lies east of Shechem; and the border went along south to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
7 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅρια υἱῶν Μανασσῆ Δηλανάθ, ἥ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Ἀνάθ, καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ Ἰαμὶν καὶ Ἰασσὶβ ἐπὶ πηγὴν Θαφθώθ·
8 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
8 τῷ Μανασσῇ ἔσται, καὶ Θαφὲθ ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασσῆ, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἐφραίμ.
9 And the border descended to the Brook Kanah, southward to the brook. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and it ended at the sea.
9 καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ φάραγγα Καρανὰ ἐπὶ λίβα κατὰ φάραγγα Ἰαριήλ, τερέβινθος τῷ Ἐφραὶμ ἀνὰ μέσον πόλεως Μανασσῆ· καὶ ὅρια Μανασσῆ ἐπὶ τὸν βορρᾶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν, καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος θάλασσα.
10 Southward it was Ephraim’s, northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was its border. Manasseh’s territory was adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.
10 ἀπὸ λιβὸς τῷ Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν Μανασσῆ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ θάλασσα ὅρια αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐπὶ Ἀσὴβ συνάψουσιν ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ τῷ Ἰσσάχαρ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν.
11 And in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth Shean and its towns, Ibleam and its towns, the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of En Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns—three hilly regions.
11 καὶ ἔσται Μανασσῆ ἐν Ἰσσάχαρ καὶ ἐν Ἀσὴρ Βαιθσὰν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δὼρ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδδώ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς Ναφετὰ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
12 καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Μανασσῆ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι τὰς πόλεις ταύτας, καὶ ἤρχετο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ·
13 And it happened, when the children of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.
13 καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπεὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐποίησαν τοὺς Χαναναίους ὑπηκόους, ἐξολοθρεῦσαι δὲ αὐτοὺς οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν.
14 Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?”
14 ἀντεῖπαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγοντες· διατί ἐκληρονόμησας ἡμᾶς κλῆρον ἕνα καὶ σχοίνισμα ἕν; ἐγὼ δὲ λαὸς πολύς εἰμι, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς εὐλόγησέ με.
15 So Joshua answered them, “If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you.”
15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς· εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ, ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν καὶ ἐκκάθαρον σεαυτῷ, εἰ στενοχωρεῖ σε τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραίμ.
16 But the children of Joseph said, “The mountain country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are of Beth Shean and its towns and those who are of the Valley of Jezreel.”
16 καὶ εἶπαν· οὐκ ἀρέσκει ἡμῖν τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος καὶ σίδηρος τῷ Χαναναίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν Βαιθσὰν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῆς, ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ἰεσραέλ.
17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—saying, “You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot,
17 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰωσήφ· εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ, καὶ ἰσχὺν μεγάλην ἔχεις, οὐκ ἔσται σοι κλῆρος εἷς·
18 but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.”
18 ὁ γὰρ δρυμὸς ἔσται σοι, ὅτι δρυμός ἐστι καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖς αὐτόν, καὶ ἔσται σοι· καὶ ὅταν ἐξολοθρεύσῃς τὸν Χαναναῖον, ὅτι ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος αὐτῷ ἐστι, σὺ γὰρ ὑπερισχύεις αὐτοῦ.
