Gilead is a region east of the Jordan River, known for its balm and rugged terrain. Machir was the firstborn son of Manasseh, and his descendants were known for their valor and military prowess. The mention of Gilead highlights the importance of land inheritance and tribal identity in Israelite society. This lineage is significant as it connects to the broader narrative of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and the allocation of territories among the tribes.<p><b>one of the clans of Joseph</b><br>Joseph, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, received a double portion of inheritance through his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. This phrase underscores the fulfillment of Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/48.htm">Genesis 48</a>, where he adopts Joseph's sons as his own, granting them equal status with his other sons.

The addressing of leaders highlights the communal and legal processes in ancient Israel, where disputes and concerns were resolved through consultation and adherence to divine law.

The families of the children of Gilead. "The mishpachoth of the Beni-Gilead" certainly did not include the Machirites, who were somewhat sharply distinguished from the other Manassites (see above on Numbers 26:29; 32:39 ff.); it is even doubtful whether they included the Gileadites proper, who took their name (and perhaps traced their descent) from Gilead, but not from his sons. It may be confidently assumed that the Machirites, who had received an extensive and remote territory beyond Jordan, had nothing whatever to do with this application. It was the other section of the tribe, the <span class="accented">mishpachoth</span> of the six sons of Gilead, who were yet to receive inheritance by lot in Canaan proper, to whom the matter appeared so serious that they came to Moses about it. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/36-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Now the family</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1492;&#1464;&#1469;&#1488;&#1464;&#1489;&#1431;&#1493;&#1465;&#1514;</span> <span class="translit">(h&#257;&#183;&#8217;&#257;&#183;&#7687;&#333;&#183;w&#7791;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article &#124;
