1 Chronicles 7:14-16
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 wife) bore to him. Machir took for a wife Maachah, sister to Huppim and Shuppim." This is nearly the version of Dr. Geddes. Machir 1Chr 2:21-23; Gen 50:23; Num 26:29-34, Num 27:1, Num 32:30-42; Deut 3:13-15; Josh 13:31, Josh 17:1-3; Judg 5:14 Huppim 1Chr 7:12 and the name It is certain that Zelophehad was not a son, but a descendant of Manasseh's, three generations having intervened; for he was the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh. and Zelophehad Num 26:33, Num 27:1-11, Num 36:1-12
