BrentonAnd the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he was the first-born of Joseph,) assigned to Machir the first-born of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, were in the land of Galaad and of Basan.
GreekΚαὶ ἐγένετο τὰ ὅρια φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασσῆ, ὅτι οὗτος πρωτότοκος τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, τῷ Μαχὶρ πρωτοτόκῳ Μανασσῆ πατρὶ Γαλαὰδ, ἀνὴρ γὰρ πολεμιστὴς ἦν, ἐν τῇ Γαλααδίτιδι καὶ ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι.

Thomsonand the rest of the sons of Manasses had possessions according to their communities, namely, the sons of Jezi, and the sons of Kelez, and the sons of Jeziel, and the sons of Sychem, and the sons of Symarim, and the sons of Opher. These were the males according to their communities.

GreekΚαὶ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσῆ τοῖς λοιποῖς κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν· τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰεζὶ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κελὲζ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰεζιὴλ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συχὲμ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Συμαρὶμ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ὀφέρ· οὗτοι ἄρσενες κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν.

GreekΚαὶ τῷ Σαλπαὰδ υἱῷ Ὀφὲρ οὐκ ἦσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἀλλʼ ἢ θυγατέρες· καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν θυγατέρων Σαλπαάδ· Μααλὰ, καὶ Νουὰ, καὶ Ἐγλὰ, καὶ Μελχὰ, καὶ Θερσά.

Thomsonand they stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the chiefs and said, God hath, by the ministry of Moses, commanded to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Accordingly there was a possession given them, by the command of the Lord, among their father’s brothers,
BrentonAnd they stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the rulers, saying, God gave a charge by the hand of Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren: so there was given to them by the command of the Lord an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
GreekΚαὶ ἔστησαν ἐναντίον Ἐλεάζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἐναντίον Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων, λέγουσαι, ὁ Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο διὰ χειρὸς Μωυσῆ δοῦναι ἡμῖν κληρονομίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν· καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου κλῆρος ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.

Thomsonand their lot happened to be on the borders of Anassa, the plain of Labek, a part of the land of Galaad, on the bank of the Jordan,
BrentonAnd their lot fell to them from Anassa, and to the plain of Labec of the land of Galaad, which is beyond Jordan.
GreekΚαὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ σχοινισμὸς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Ἀνάσσα, καὶ πεδίον Λαβὲκ ἐκ τῆς γῆς Γαλαὰδ, ἥ ἐστι πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου·
6
Thomsonbecause the daughters of the children of Manasses had a possession in the midst of their brethren; and Galaad belonged to the rest of the children of Manasses.
BrentonFor the daughters of the sons of Manasse inherited a portion in the midst of their brethren, and the land of Galaad was assigned to the remainder of the sons of Manasse.
GreekὍτι θυγατέρες υἱῶν Μανασσὴ ἐκληρονόμησαν κλῆρον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν· ἡ δὲ γῆ Γαλαὰδ ἐγενήθη τοῖς υἱοῖς Μανασσὴ τοῖς καταλελειμμένοις.

ThomsonNow these were the borders of the children of Manasses; Delanath, which is in front of the children of Anath, and extendeth to the borders, to Jamin, and Jassib, to the fountain Thaphthoth, is to belong to Manasses;
BrentonAnd the borders of the sons of Manasse were Delanath, which is before the sons of Anath, and it proceeds to the borders even to Jamin and Jassib to the fountain of Thaphthoth.
GreekΚαὶ ἐγενήθη ὅρια υἱῶν Μανασσῆ Δηλανὰθ, ἥ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Ἀνὰθ, καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ Ἰαμὶν καὶ Ἰασσὶβ ἐπὶ πηγὴν Θαφθώθ.

Thomsonbut Thapheth, which is within the bounds of the Manassites, is to belong to the children of Ephraim.
BrentonIt shall belong to Manasse, and Thapheth on the borders of Manasse shall belong to the sons of Ephraim.
GreekΤῷ Μανασσῇ ἔσται· καὶ Θαφὲθ ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασσῆ, τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἐφραΐμ.

ThomsonThence the boundary is to go down to the vale of Karana, on the south side, over against the vale Jariel; but Tereminthus, which is within the bounds of a city of Manasses,
BrentonAnd the borders shall go down to the valley of Carana southward by the valley of Jariel, ( there is a turpentine tree belonging to Ephraim between that and the city of Manasse:) and the borders of Manasse are northward to the brook; and the sea shall be its termination.
GreekΚαὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ φάραγγα Καρανὰ ἐπὶ Λίβα κατὰ φάραγγα Ἰαριὴλ· τερέμινθος τῷ Ἐφραῒμ ἀναμέσον πόλεως Μανασσῆ· καὶ ὅρια Μανασσῆ ἐπὶ τὸν βοῤῥᾶν εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος θάλασσα
10
Thomsonis to belong to Ephraim; then the border of Manasses runneth northward, to the brook, and his boundary is to be the sea. The south side belonged to Ephraim, and the north side to Manasses, and the sea was to be their boundary. And on the north they were to join upon Aser, and on the east upon Issachar.
BrentonSouthward the land belongs to Ephraim, and northward to Manasse; and the sea shall be their coast; and northward they shall border upon Aseb, and eastward upon Issachar.
Greekἀπὸ Λιβὸς τῷ Ἐφραῒμ, καὶ ἐπὶ Βοῤῥᾶν Μανασσῇ· καὶ ἔσται ἡ θάλασσα ὅρια αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐπὶ Ἀσὴβ συνάψουσιν ἐπὶ Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ τῷ Ἰσσάχαρ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν.
11
ThomsonAnd Manasses was to have in Issachar, and in Aser, Baithsan, with their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages; and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.
BrentonAnd Manasses shall have in the portion of Issachar and Aser Bæthsan and their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages, and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages.
GreekΚαὶ ἔσται Μανασσῇ ἐν Ἰσσάχαρ καὶ ἐν Ἀσὴρ Βαιθοὰν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Δὼρ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Μαγεδδὼ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς Μαφετὰ, καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς.
12
ThomsonBut the Manassites were not able to exterminate the inhabitants of these cities. The Chananites had begun to settle in that land,
BrentonAnd the sons of Manasse were not able to destroy these cities; and the Chananite began to dwell in that land.
GreekΚαὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Μανασσῆ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι τὰς πόλεις ταύτας· καὶ ἤρχετο ὁ Χαναναῖος κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ.
13
Thomsonand when the Israelites became strong, they brought the Chananites into subjection, and did not utterly extirpate them.
BrentonAnd it came to pass that when the children of Israel were strong, they made the Chananites subject, but they did not utterly destroy them.
GreekΚαὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπεὶ κατίσχυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐποίησαν τοὺς Χαναναίους ὑπηκόους, ἐξολοθρεῦσαι δὲ αὐτοὺς οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν.
14
ThomsonWhen the children of Joseph complained to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given us but one lot, and one portion, to inherit, seeing I am a numerous people, and God hath blessed me?
BrentonAnd the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Wherefore hast thou caused us to inherit one inheritance, and one line? whereas I am a great people, and God has blessed me.
GreekἈντεῖπαν δὲ οἱ νἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ Ἰησοῦ, λέγοντες, διατί ἐκληρονόμησας ἡμᾶς κλῆρον ἕνα, καὶ σχοίνισμα ἕν; ἐγὼ δὲ λαὸς πολύς εἰμι, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς εὐλόγησέ με.
15
ThomsonJoshua said to them, If thou art a numerous people, go up into the forest and clear it for thyself, if the mountain Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
BrentonAnd Joshua said to them, If thou be a great people, go up to the forest, and clear the land for thyself, if mount Ephraim be too little for thee.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς, εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ, ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν, καὶ ἐκκάθαρον σεαυτῷ εἰ στενοχωρεῖ σε τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραΐμ.
16
ThomsonWhereupon they said we are not satisfied with mount Ephraim, and the Chananites, who dwell there in Baithsan, and its villages, and in the valley of Jezrael, have choice horses, and iron.
BrentonAnd they said, The mount of Ephraim does not please us, and the Chananite dwelling in it in Bæthsan, and in its villages, and in the valley of Jezrael, has choice cavalry and iron.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπαν, οὐκ ἀρέσκει ἡμῖν τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἐφραΐμ· καὶ ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος, καὶ σίδηρος τῷ Χαναναίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν Βαιθσὰν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῆς, ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ἰεζραέλ.
17
ThomsonBut Joshua said to the children of Joseph, If thou art a numerous people, and hast great power, thou wilt not have one lot only,
BrentonAnd Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If thou art a great people, and hast great strength, thou shalt not have only one inheritance.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰωσὴφ, εἰ λαὸς πολὺς εἶ καὶ ἰσχὺν μεγάλην ἔχεις, οὐκ ἔσται σοι κλῆρος εἷς·
18
Thomsonfor the forest will be thine. Though it is a forest thou canst clear it, and it shall be thine when thou hast rooted out the Chananites. For though they have choice horses, thou shalt excel them in strength.
BrentonFor thou shalt have the wood, for there is a wood, and thou shalt clear it, and the land shall be thine; even when thou shalt have utterly destroyed the Chananite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet thou art stronger than he.
GreekὉ γὰρ δρυμὸς ἔσται σοι, ὅτι δρυμός ἐστι καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔσται σοι· καὶ ὅταν ἐξολοθρεύ· σῃς τὸν Χαναναῖον, ὅτι ἵππος ἐπίλεκτος αὐτῷ ἐστι· σὺ γὰρ ὑπερισχύεις αὐτοῦ.
