He is permitted to see it To Machir The name "Machir" is significant in the context of Israel's tribal history. Machir was the firstborn son of Manasseh, Joseph's son, and his descendants were known for their valor and strength. The Hebrew root of "Machir" can be associated with the idea of "selling" or "bartering," which may metaphorically reflect the transactional nature of inheritance and land distribution among the tribes. Historically, the Machirites were a prominent clan within the tribe of Manasseh, and their role in the conquest and settlement of the land east of the Jordan River is well-documented. This allocation of land to Machir underscores the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, demonstrating His faithfulness and the importance of family lineage in the divine plan.
