Joshua 17:5

“And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan, etc.] The lot which fell to the half tribe of Manasseh was divided into ten parts: according to the Jewish writers, the six families before mentioned had six parts, and the daughters of Zelophehad had four parts; one on the account of Zelophehad their father, two on the account of their grandfather Hepher, who they say was the firstborn, and one on account of their uncle, their father’s brother, who died in the wilderness without children; so Jarchi and Kimchi relate from the Talmud f387; but the true case seems to be this, there were six portions for the six families, but…”

“Ten portions - i. e. five for the five families descended from the male children of Gilead, and five others for the five daughters of Zelophehad, who represented the sixth family, the Hepherites. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Ten portions - Five for the sons, and five for the daughters; for as for Hepher, both he and his son Zelophehad was dead, and that without sons, and therefore had no portion; but his daughters had several portions allotted to them. Joshua 17:6”

“ten portions: As there were six sons and five daughters, among whom this division was to be made, there should be eleven portions, but Zelophehad, son of Hepher, having left five daughters in his place, neither he nor Hepher is reckoned. The lot of Manasseh therefore was divided into ten parts; five for the five sons of Gilead, Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, and Shemida; and five for the five daughters of Zelophehad, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Jos 17:2, Jos 17:3, Jos 17:14 beside: Jos 13:29-31; Num 32:30-42 Joshua 17:7”
