Later, when Hezron was 60 years old, he married Makir’s daughter. Makir’s was the father of Gilead. Hezron had sexual relations with Makir’s daughter and she gave birth to Segub.
Manasseh was Joseph’s son. Makir was Manasseh’s son. Gilead was Makir’s son. The leaders of Gilead’s family went to talk to Moses and the leaders of Israel’s family groups.
Then land was given to the family group of Manasseh. Manasseh was Joseph’s first son. Manasseh’s first son was Makir, the father of Gilead. [61] Makir was a great soldier, so the areas of Gilead and Bashan were given to the Makir family.
The men of Ephraim came
from the hill country of Amalek. [45] Benjamin, those men followed you
and your people.
And there were commanders
from the family of Makir. [46] Leaders from the family group of Zebulun
came with their bronze clubs.
