- "There was¹ also a lotª for the tribeª of Manasseh;ª for¹ he¹ [was] the firstbornª of Joseph;ª [to wit], for Machirª the firstbornª of Manasseh,ª the fatherª of Gilead:ª because¹ he¹ was¹ a manª of war,ª therefore he had¹ Gileadª and Bashan.ª ... But¹ the mountainª shall be¹ thine; for¹ it¹ [is] a wood,ª and thou shalt cut it down:ª° and the outgoingsª of it shall be¹ thine: for¹ thou shalt drive outª°¹ the Canaanites,ª though¹ they have ironª chariots,ª [and] though¹ they¹ [be] strong.ª" {Jsh 17:1-18}
