These are the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, by their families.

4 And they went before the sight of Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders, saying: “The Lord instructed by the hand of Moses that a possession ought to be given to us, in the midst of our brothers.” And so, he gave to them, in accord with the order of the Lord, a possession in the midst of the brothers of their father.

5 And by lot, there fell ten portions to Manasseh, aside from the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan.

and to fall: kill cord Manasseh ten to/for alone: besides from land: country/planet [the] Gilead and [the] Bashan which from side: beside to/for Jordan

6 And so the daughters of Manasseh possessed an inheritance in the midst of his sons. But the land of Gilead fell by lot to the sons of Manasseh that were left.

7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which looks out toward Shechem. And it goes out, to the right, beside the inhabitants of the Fountain of Tappuah.

9 And the border descends to the Valley of Reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh is to the north of the torrent, and its exit extends to the sea.

and to go down [the] border: boundary torrent: river Kanah south [to] to/for torrent: river city [the] these to/for Ephraim in/on/with midst city Manasseh and border: boundary Manasseh from north to/for torrent: river and to be outgoing his [the] sea [to]

10 So it is that the possession of Ephraim is in the south, and that of Manasseh is in the north, and both are enclosed by the sea, and they are joined together by the tribe of Asher to the north, and by the tribe of Issachar to the east.

11 And the inheritance of Manasseh, in Issachar and in Asher, was Bethshean and its villages, and Ibleam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with their towns, likewise the inhabitants of Endor with their villages, and similarly the inhabitants of Taanach with their villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo with their villages, and one third part of the city of Naphath.

and to speak: speak son: descendant/people Joseph with Joshua to/for to say why? to give: give to/for me inheritance allotted one and cord one and I people many till which till thus to bless me LORD

15 And Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up into the forest, and cut out space for yourself in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for you.”

16 And the sons of Joseph responded to him: “We are not able to ascend to the mountains, since the Canaanites, who live in the plains, in which are situated Bethshean, with its villages, and Jezreel, possessing the middle of the valley, use chariots of iron.”

and to say son: descendant/people Joseph not to find to/for us [the] mountain: hill country and chariot iron in/on/with all [the] Canaanite [the] to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet [the] Valley (of Jezreel) to/for which in/on/with Beth-shean Beth-shean and daughter: village her and to/for which in/on/with Valley (of Jezreel) (Valley of) Jezreel

17 And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh: “You are a numerous people, and you have great strength. You shall not have only one lot.

and to say Joshua to(wards) house: household Joseph to/for Ephraim and to/for Manasseh to/for to say people many you(m. s.) and strength great: large to/for you not to be to/for you allotted one

18 Instead, you shall cross to the mountain, and you shall cut down and clear out for yourselves space in which to live. And you shall be able to advance further, when you will have destroyed the Canaanite, who, as you say, has iron chariots and is very strong.”
