Now the descendants of half the tribe of Manasseh The tribe of Manasseh was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after one of Joseph's sons. The division into "half the tribe" refers to the allocation of land on the east side of the Jordan River, distinct from the other half that settled west of the Jordan. This division is significant as it reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land, and it also highlights the unique role of Manasseh in Israel's history. The tribe's name, Manasseh, means "causing to forget," which is rooted in Joseph's experience of forgetting his hardships in Egypt (Genesis 41:51). settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon that is to Senir even to Mount Hermon (23) Baal-hermon.--Perhaps the same as Baal-gad (Joshua 12:7; Joshua 13:5), the modern town of Banias. Senir.--The Amorite name of the range of Hermon (Deuteronomy 3:9). The principal summit is now called Jebel esh-Sheikh, "hill of the chief," and Jebel eth-Thelj, "Snow Hill." Verses 23, 24. - "The half-tribe of Manasseh" is here very briefly treated cf. Manasseh and his brother Ephraim stand in the place of Joseph, both the children of Joseph's Egyptian wife, Asenath, and born before the famine. Though Manasseh was the elder, Jacob gave the chief blessing (Genesis 48:10-22) to Ephraim. The Manassites were descended from Manasseh through his son Machir, born of a Syrian concubine (Septuagint, Genesis 46:20; Genesis 1:23; Numbers 26:28-34; Joshua 17:1-3; 1 Chronicles 7:14, 15). Machir evidently was spes gregis (though apparently not the only son, for see Asriel, or Ashriel, in above references), and is repeatedly mentioned with his sou Gilead. It is probable that the division of the tribe was determined partly according to the energy of those who composed it at the time of division - the more warlike being more adapted to the east of Jordan. Nevertheless Machir is distinctly mentioned westward, as well as with Gilead eastward (comp. Judges 5:14-17; Joshua 13:29-31). (For the further prosecution of this part of the subject, see Exposition, 1 Chronicles 7:14-19.) Verse 23. - Baal-hermon, etc. These three names need scarcely be read as different names for exactly the same region, but as designating different sides or heights of what was essentially one and the same well-known mountain district, with which would agree Psalm 43:6, "Therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.' So Deuteronomy 3:8-10 tells us that Hermon was called Sirion by the Sidonians; Shenir, i.q. Senir (שְׂנִיר, exactly the same word in the Hebrew text in all the four places of its occurrence - Song of Solomon 4:8; Ezekiel 27:5), by the Amorites. And the suggestion of Grove is likely enough, that Baal-hermon was the Phoenician cast of the name. If any point were to be gained by reading the names, however, as intended to cover exactly the same tract, it may be noted(1) that the Hebrew conjunction will perfectly admit of being translated "even;" and (2) that the order of the names, going from the foreign to the native Hermon itself, would so far favour it.
