The descendants of Gilead were part of the tribe of Manasseh, one of Joseph's sons. This lineage highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the multiplication of his descendants. Gilead's territory was significant in biblical history, often serving as a place of refuge and conflict. The mention of Gilead here underscores the importance of tribal identities and inheritances in Israel's history.<p><b>the Iezerite clan from Iezer,</b><br>Iezer was one of the sons of Gilead, and his descendants formed the Iezerite clan. This clan is part of the larger tribal structure that organized the Israelites. The naming of clans and families was crucial for maintaining the inheritance and land distribution among the tribes. The Iezerites, like other clans, would have had specific roles and responsibilities within the tribe of Manasseh. This structure ensured that each family maintained its identity and heritage, which was vital for the preservation of the covenant community.<p><b>the Helekite clan from Helek,</b><br>Helek was another son of Gilead, and his descendants formed the Helekite clan. The mention of Helek and his clan emphasizes the detailed genealogical records kept by the Israelites. These records were essential for legal and religious purposes, such as land ownership and participation in religious festivals. The Helekites, as part of the tribe of Manasseh, would have shared in the blessings and responsibilities of the covenant people. This clan structure also reflects the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness in preserving His people through generations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/gilead.htm">Gilead</a></b><br>A region east of the Jordan River, known for its balm and fertile land.
