This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
17 The allotment for Manashsheh’s descendants (Yosef’s eldest son) included a special allotment for (Gilead’s father) Makir—he was given Gilead and Bashan because he was a powerful warrior. 2 The other Manashsheh clans that were allocated land were the Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shekem, Hefer, and Shemida clans. (They were the sons of Yosef’s son Manashsheh who led their own clans.) 3 But Zelofehad (son of Hefer, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manashsheh) had no sons—only daughters who were named Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah. 4 They approached the priest Eleazar and Yehoshua and the other leaders and said, “Yahweh told Mosheh to give us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So he[fn] gave them an inheritance (like he’d given their uncles), as Yahweh had instructed them.[ref] 5 So ten blocks were allocated to Manashsheh tribe as well as Gilead and Bashan which were across the Yordan 6 because Manashsheh’s daughters received inheritances along with his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of Manashsheh’s sons.
7 The border for Manashsheh went from Asher to Mikmetat opposite Shekem, then went south towards the spring at Tappuah. 8 (The Tappuah land was for Manashsheh, but Tappuah town was for Efrayim.) 9 Then the border went south to the Kanah riverbed—the cities there belonged to Efrayim even though they were inside Manashsheh’s land—then the border stayed on the north side of the riverbed and extended to the Mediterranean. 10 So the south was for Efrayim and the north was for Manashsheh, and the sea was the western border, meeting Asher from the north and Yissashkar from the east. 11 Manashsheh was allocated cities inside both Yissashkar’s and Asher’s territories: Beyt-Shan, Ibleam, Dor, Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo along with their surrounding towns.[fn] 12 But Manashsheh’s descendants weren’t able to take possession of those cities, so the Canaanites continued to live in the region.[ref] 13 When the Israelis strengthened their position, they were able to force those Canaanites to work for them, but they weren’t able to drive them out.
17:4 It’s not clear who this ‘he’ refers to here—some translations choose Eleazar (implied by the sentence structure) and others choose Yehoshua (implied by past allocations of land).
17:11 We’ve omitted the final Hebrew phrase here (the three of Nafet) since it’s unclear what it means (plus it’s not considered to be a vital point in the narrative).
Num 27:1-7:
Jdg 1:27-28:
27 However Manashsheh’s descendants didn’t drive out those living in Beyt-Shan, Taanak, Dor, Yibleam, or Meggidon, because the Canaanites were determined to keep living there.[ref] 28 (Later, the Israelis became stronger and they forced the Canaanites to work for them as their slaves, but they didn’t drive them out.)
