¹⁴ Manasseh’s sons were Asriel and Machir. Their mother was Manasseh’s Aramean concubine.^[a] Machir was the first to settle Gilead. ¹⁵ He married a wife from the Huppites and Shuppites. His wife’s ^[b] name was Maacah. The name of his second son was Zelophehad. Zelophehad had only daughters. ¹⁶ Maacah, Machir’s wife, had a son, and she named him Peresh. His brother’s name was Sheresh, whose sons were Ulam and Rakem. ¹⁷ Ulam’s son was Bedan. These were the people of Gilead, descendants of Machir (son of Manasseh). ¹⁸ Bedan’s sister Hammolecheth gave birth to Ishhod, Abiezer, and Mahlah. ¹⁹ Shemida’s sons were Ahian, Shechem, Likhi, and Aniam.
