The sons: The text in these two verses seems to be strangely corrupted; and, as it stands, is scarcely intelligible. Probably it should be rendered, "The sons of Manasseh were Ashriel, whom his Syrian concubine bore to him; and Machir the father of Gilead, whom - his wifebore to him. Machir took for a wife Maachah, sister to Huppim and Shuppim." This is nearly the version of Dr. Geddes. Machir: 1Ch 2:21-23, Gen 50:23, Num 26:29-34, Num 27:1, Num 32:30-42, Deu 3:13-15, Jos 13:31, Jos 17:1-3, Jdg 5:14 Reciprocal: Gen 46:20 - Manasseh Num 1:34 - Manasseh Num 36:1 - Gilead
