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: Ch1 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 1 Chronicles 7:15
