“Of the sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites: and Machir begat Gilead: of Gilead come the family of the Gileadites.”
The sons of Manasseh: of Makir, the family of the Makirites; and Makir begat Gilead; of Gilead come the family of the Gileadites — Manasseh's genealogy emphasizes Makir, whose son Gilead gives his name to the eastern territory east of the Jordan. The genealogical structure here interconnects personal lineage with geographical inheritance.
