Apgabals otrai pusei Manases cilts
1 Šāda loze krita Manases ciltij – viņš bija Jāzepa pirmdzimtais. Māhīram, Manases pirmdzimtajam, Gileāda tēvam, tika Gileāda un Bāšāna, jo viņš bija karavīrs. 2 Bet pārējiem Manases dēliem mantojumu izlozēja pēc viņu dzimtām – Abīezeram un Hēleka dēliem, un Asriēla dēliem, un Šehema dēliem, un Hēfera dēliem, un Šemīdas dēliem – šie vīri bija dēli Manasem, Jāzepa dēlam. 3 Bet Celofhādam, Hēfera dēlam, Gileāda dēlam, Māhīra dēlam, Manases dēlam, nebija dēlu, tikai meitas vien, un šie ir viņa meitu vārdi – Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka un Tirca. 4 Viņas nāca pie priestera Elāzāra, pie Jozuas, Nūna dēla, un pie vadoņiem un sacīja: “Kungs ir pavēlējis, lai Mozus dod mums mantojumu līdz ar mūsu brāļiem!” – un pēc Kunga pavēles viņš deva tām mantojumu līdz ar viņu brāļiem. 5 Tādējādi Manases daļai piekrita vēl desmit, neskaitot Gileādas un Bāšānas zemi, kas viņpus Jardānas, 6 jo Manases meitas ieguva mantojumu līdz ar viņa dēliem, bet Gileādas zeme tika pārējiem Manases dēliem. 7 Manases robežas gāja no Ašēras uz Mihmetātu, kas pie Šehemas, un tālāk robeža stiepās uz dienvidiem, kur mīt Ēn-Tapūhas ļaudis. 8 Manasem gan piederēja Tapūhas zemes, bet pati Tapūha, kas ārpus Manases robežām, piederēja Efraima dēliem. 9 Tālāk robeža laidās lejup līdz Kānas upei dienvidos, līdz pašai upei – šīs pilsētas pieder Efraimam, tās ir Manases pilsētu vidū. Manases robeža iet uz ziemeļiem no upes un beidzas pie jūras. 10 Dienvidi pieder Efraimam un ziemeļi Manasem – viņu zemes sniedzas līdz jūrai. Pie Ašēra robeža sasniedz ziemeļus, bet austrumos ir Jisašhars. 11 Manasem bija mantojuma daļa arī Jisašhara un Ašēra zemēs – Bēt-Šeāna un tās ciemi, Jibleāma un tās ciemi, un Dora ar tās iemītniekiem un ciemiem, un Ēn-Dora ar tās iemītniekiem un ciemiem, un Taanaha ar tās iemītniekiem un ciemiem, un Megido ar tās iemītniekiem un ciemiem – triju pakalnu novads. 12 Manases dēli nevarēja iekarot tās pilsētas, un tajā zemē palika dzīvot kanaānieši. 13 Kad Israēla dēli pieņēmās spēkā, tie lika kanaāniešus pie klaušu darbiem, taču pavisam tos nepadzina.
Jāzepa cilts prasa lielāku apgabalu
14 Tad Jāzepa dēli runāja ar Jozuu un teica: “Kādēļ tu mums esi devis mantojumā tikai vienu lozes tiesu un vienu daļu, mēs taču esam liela tauta, līdz šim Kungs ir mūs svētījis!” 15 Un Jozua tiem atbildēja: “Ja jūs esat liela tauta, tad dodieties mežā un plēsiet tur līdumu – periziešu un milžu zemē, ja jums ir par šauru Efraima kalnienē!” 16 Jāzepa dēli teica: “Mums nepietiek ar kalnieni! Un visiem kanaāniešiem, kas mīt ielejā, ir dzelzs kararati, – tiem, kas ir Bēt-Šeānā un tās ciemos, un tiem, kas ir Jizreēlas ielejā!” 17 Bet Jozua teica Jāzepa namam, Efraimam un Manasem: “Jūs esat liela tauta, un jums ir varens spēks – jums nepienākas tikai viena loze! 18 Lai jums tiek arī kalni, jo tur ir mežs, plēsiet tur līdumu, un tas viss piederēs jums. Taču jums jāpadzen kanaānieši, kaut arī tiem ir dzelzs kararati un tie ir spēcīgi!”
1 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. 2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3 ¶ But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. 5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan; 6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
7 ¶ And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; 9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea: 10 Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east. 11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries. 12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto? 15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country , and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. 16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. 17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only: 18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
