The people of Gilead had received the lands of Gilead and Bashan. That’s because the people of Makir were great soldiers.So land was given to the rest of the people of Manasseh.

They also went to the other leaders. They said,“ The Lord commanded Moses to give us our share of land among our male relatives.” So Joshua gave them land along with their male relatives. That was according to what the Lord had commanded.Manasseh’s share was made up of ten pieces of land. That land was in addition to Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan River.So the five granddaughters of Hepher in the family line of Manasseh received land, just as the other five sons of Manasseh did.

The third town in the list was also called Naphoth Dor.But the people of Manasseh weren’t able to take over those towns. That’s because the Canaanites had made up their minds to live in that area.The Israelites grew stronger. Then they forced the Canaanites to work hard for them.
