Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/17-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Ten parts fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/17-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons.
