There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

Verse 1 is found in chapter 17 of Joshua. Manasseh receives its inheritance, and the daughters of Zelophehad are specifically mentioned as receiving territory according to the word of God transmitted through Moses. The scene shows that legislation concerning female inheritance is not a marginal detail, but part of the actual distribution of the land. Genealogy is used to establish concrete territorial rights and preserve the continuity of family inheritance within Israel.

Y tuvo también suerte la tribu de Manasés, porque fue primogénito de José. Machîr, primogénito de Manasés, y padre de Galaad, el cual fue hombre de guerra, tuvo a Galaad y a Basán.
A la tribu de Manasés también le tocó su parte por sorteo, porque él era el primogénito de José. Maquir, primogénito de Manasés y padre de Galaad, recibió Galaad y Basán, porque era un hombre de guerra.
Une part échut aussi par le sort à la tribu de Manassé, car il était le premier-né de Joseph. Makir, premier-né de Manassé et père de Galaad, avait eu Galaad et Basan, parce qu'il était un homme de guerre.
E LA sorte che scadde alla tribù di Manasse quantunque egli fosse il primogenito di Giuseppe, fu questa: Alla nazione di Machir, primogenito di Manasse, padre di Galaad, perchè erano uomini di guerra, scadde Galaad, e Basan.
