14 The descendants of Manasseh (causing to forget): Asriel (I shall be prince of God) through his Aramean (exalted) concubine. She also gave birth to Machir (sold) the father of Gilead (rocky region). 15 Machir (sold) took a wife from among the Huppites (protected) and Shuppites (serpents). The name of his sister was Maacah (oppression). Another descendant was named Zelophehad (first-born), who had only daughters. 16 Machir’s (sold) wife Maacah (oppression) gave birth to a son, and she named him Peresh (dung). His brother was named Sheresh (root), and his sons were Ulam (their leader) and Rekem (variegation). 17 The son of Ulam (their leader): Bedan (in judging). These were the sons of Gilead (rocky region) son of Machir (sold), the son of Manasseh (causing to forget). 18 His sister Hammolecheth (the queen) gave birth to Ishhod (man of majesty), Abiezer (my father is help), and Mahlah (disease). 19 And these were the sons of Shemida (wise): Ahian (brotherly), Shechem (shoulder), Likhi (learning), and Aniam (lament of people). 20 The descendants of Ephraim (doubly fruitful): Shuthelah (noise of breaking), Bered (hail) his son, Tahath (station) his son, Eleadah (God has adorned) his son, Tahath his son, 21 Zabad (he endows) his son, and Shuthelah (noise of breaking) his son. Ezer (treasure) and Elead (God has testified) were killed by the natives of Gath (winepress), because they went down to steal their livestock. 22 Their father Ephraim (doubly fruitful) mourned for many days, and his relatives came to comfort him. 23 And again he slept with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. So he named him Beriah (disaster), because tragedy had come upon his house. 24 His daughter was Sheerah (kinswoman), who built Lower and Upper Beth-horon (house of hollowness), as well as Uzzen-sheerah (portion of Sherah). 25 Additionally, Rephah (healing of the breath) was his son, Resheph his son, Telah (vigor) his son, Tahan (camp) his son, 26 Ladan (put in order) his son, Ammihud (my kinsman is majesty) his son, Elishama (my God has heard) his son, 27 Nun (Non) his son, and Joshua (YHWH saves) his son. 1 Chronicles 7:14-27, Berean Annotated Bible.
