Footnotes
- 1 Chronicles 7:14 Manasseh had contacts with the Arameans (see Gen 31:46f). Machir was the half-tribe that dwelt across the Jordan (see Num 32:39f) and was certainly the older of the two half-tribes (see Jdg 5:14). The Huppites and Shuppites belonged to the tribe of Benjamin, while Jabesh in Gilead, a town in the territory of Manasseh, was allied with the Benjaminites (see Jdg 21:12).
- 1 Chronicles 7:23 The clan of Beriah later became part of Benjamin (see 8:13).
- 1 Chronicles 7:28 Shechem is usually placed in the tribe of Manasseh. In this passage, the Chronicler seems to be giving the name Ephraim to the combined tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
