Commentary on Joshua 17:5

Theological / Devotional

Ten portions to Manasseh. Literally, “the lots of Manasseh, ten.” Verse 2 lists six families including Hepher’s. Inasmuch as Hepher’s son Zelophehad died without leaving a son, Zelophehad’s five daughters received their father’s portion. It would seem that Hepher’s portion was divided into five. This makes ten portions in all.
