1599 Geneva Bible
4 Which came before Eleazar the Priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our [a]brethren: therefore according to the commandment of the Lord, he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 And there fell ten portions to [b]Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of Jordan,
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh did inherit among his sons: and Manasseh’s other sons had the land of Gilead.

Joshua 17:4-6
New International Version
4 They went to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our relatives.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to the Lord’s command.(A) 5 Manasseh’s share consisted of ten tracts of land besides Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan,(B) 6 because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an inheritance among the sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh.
