Half Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of MACHIR the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of MACHIR according to their families.

This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for MACHIR the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
