The families from Gilead were: Iezer—the Iezerite family. Helek—the Helekite family.
Land was also given to the other families in the family group of Manasseh. Those families were Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. All these men were the other sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. The families of these men got their share of the land.
At that time, the Angel of the Lord came to a man named Gideon. The Angel of the Lord came and sat down under an oak tree at a place called Ophrah. This oak tree belonged to a man named Joash. Joash was from the Abiezer family. Joash was the father of Gideon. Gideon was beating some wheat [51] in a winepress. [52] The Angel of the Lord sat down near Gideon. Gideon was hiding so the Midianites could not see the wheat.
So Gideon built an altar [57] in that place to worship the Lord. Gideon named that altar, “The Lord is Peace.” That altar still stands in the city of Ophrah. Ophrah is where the Abiezer family lives.
The Spirit of the Lord came to Gideon {and gave him great power}. Gideon blew a trumpet to call the Abiezer family to follow him.
But Gideon answered the men of Ephraim, “I have not done as well as you men have done. You people of Ephraim have a much better harvest than my family, the Abiezers. At harvest time, you leave more grapes in the field than my family gathers! Isn’t that true?
