Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. The inheritance of Manasseh on this side of the Jordan was on the north of Ephraim. 1b-6. Before proceeding to the more detailed description of the inheritance, the historian thinks it necessary to observe that the Manassites received a double inheritance. This remark is introduced with the words "for he was http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos106.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:18:51 p.m.]
Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament the first-born of Joseph." On this account, in addition to the territory already given to him in Gilead and Bashan, he received a second allotment of territory in Canaan proper. With the word lªmaakiyr (OT:4353) (for Machir) the more minute account of the division of the Manassites commences. wgw' lªmaakiyr (OT:4353) is first of all written absolutely at the beginning of the sentence, and then resumed in low (OT:3807a ) wayªhiy (OT:1961): "to Machir, the first-born of Manasseh...to him were Gilead and Bashan assigned, because he was a man of war," i.e., a warlike man, and had earned for himself a claim to the inheritance of Gilead and Bashan through the peculiar bravery which he had displayed in the conquest of those lands. By Machir , however, we are not to understand the actual son of Manasseh, but his family; and hagilªàad (OT:1568) 'abiy (OT:2) does not mean "father of Gilead," but lord (possessor) of Gilead , for Machir's son Gilead is always called gilªàad (OT:1568) without the article (vid., Josh 17:3; Num 26:29-30; 27:1; 36:1; 1 Chron 7:17), whereas the country of that name is just as constantly called hagilªàad (OT:1568) (see v. 1, the last clause, v. 5; Josh 13:11,31; Num 32:40; Deut 3:10ff.). "And there came , i.e., the lot fell (the lot is to be repeated from v. 1), to the other descendants of Manasseh according to their families," which are then enumerated as in Num 26:30-32. "These are the male descendants of Manasseh." hazªkaariym (OT:2145) must not be altered, notwithstanding the fact that it is preceded and followed by hanowtaariym (OT:3498); it is evidently used deliberately as an antithesis to the female descendants of Manasseh mentioned in v. 3. Verse 3-6. Among the six families of Manasseh (v. 2), Zelophehad , a descendant of Hepher , left no son; but he had five daughters, whose names are given in v. 3 (as in Num 26:33; 27:1; 36:10). These daughters had petitioned Moses for a separate portion in the promised land, and their request had been granted (Num 27:2ff., compared with ch. 36). They therefore came before the committee appointed for dividing the land and repeated this promised, which as at once fulfilled. Consequently there were ten families of Manasseh who had received portions by the side of Ephraim, five male and five female. "And (v. 5) there fell the measurements of Manasseh (as) ten," i.e., ten portions were assigned to the Manassites (on the west of the Jordan), beside the land of Gilead, because (as is again observed in v. 6) the http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos107.html (1 of 3) [13/08/2004 01:18:53 p.m.]
