- ten portions:
- As there were six sons and five daughters, among whom this division was to be made, there should be eleven portions, but Zelophehad, son of Hepher, having left five daughters in his place, neither he nor Hepher is reckoned. The lot of Manasseh therefore was divided into ten parts; five for the five sons of Gilead, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, and Shemida; and five for the five daughters of Zelophehad, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. "There was¹ also [a lot] for the restª° of the childrenª of Manassehª by their families;ª for the childrenª of Abiezer,ª and for the childrenª of Helek,ª and for the childrenª of Asriel,ª and for the childrenª of Shechem,ª and for the childrenª of Hepher,ª and for the childrenª of Shemida:ª these¹ [were] the maleª childrenª of Manassehª the sonª of Josephª by their families.ª ... But Zelophehad,ª the sonª of Hepher,ª the sonª of Gilead,ª the sonª of Machir,ª the sonª of Manasseh,ª had¹ no¹ sons,ª but¹¹ daughters:ª and these¹ [are] the namesª of his daughters,ª Mahlah,ª and Noah,ª Hoglah,ª Milcah,ª and Tirzah.ª" {Jsh 17:2-3} + "And the childrenª of Josephª spakeª° unto¹¹ Joshua,ª saying,ª° Why¹ hast thou givenª° me [but] oneª lotª and oneª portionª to inherit,ª seeing I¹ [am] a greatª people,ª forasmuch¹ as² the LORDª hath blessedª° me hitherto?ª¹¹" {Jsh 17:14}
