“Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,”
Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan; but to the other half Joshua gave a possession beside their brothers on the west side of the Jordan. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents and blessed them — The parenthetical clarification of Manasseh's split inheritance (half east, half west) explains the mixed location of the departing tribes. Joshua's blessing parallels Joshua's own blessing in Joshua 19:50.
