Yisra'el stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Efrayim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Menasheh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Menasheh was the firstborn.
The heads of the fathers' [houses] of the family of the children of Gil`ad, the son of Makhir, the son of Menasheh, of the families of the sons of Yosef, came near, and spoke before Moshe, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Yisra'el:
[This] was the lot for the tribe of Menasheh; for he was the firstborn of Yosef. As for Makhir the firstborn of Menasheh, the father of Gil`ad, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gil`ad and Bashan.
Those whose root is in `Amalek came out of Efrayim, after you, Binyamin, among your peoples. Governors come down out of Makhir. Those who handle the marshal's staff came out of Zevulun.
