The division of land into ten shares indicates a detailed and organized allocation, reflecting the importance of inheritance and tribal identity in Israelite society. This allocation fulfills the promise made to Joseph's descendants, as seen in <a href="/genesis/48-5.htm">Genesis 48:5-6</a>, where Jacob adopts Ephraim and Manasseh as his own sons, granting them equal inheritance with his other sons.<p><b>in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan</b><br>Gilead and Bashan were regions east of the Jordan River, known for their fertile land and strategic importance.

The mention of these lands highlights the extensive territory allotted to Manasseh, emphasizing God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises.
