Joshua 17:2

So the lot pertained to the rest of the sons of Manasseh, by their families, to the sons of Abiezer, and to the sons of Helek, and to the sons of Asriel, and to the sons of Shechem, and to the sons of Hepher, and to the sons of Shemida,—these, were the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, even the male descendants, by their families.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

In Context

1And the lot for the tribe of Manasseh was, for, he, was the firstborn of Joseph,—as for Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because, he, was a man of war, therefore had he Gilead and Bashan.

3But, Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters,—and, these, are the names of his daughters, Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
