These are the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans." • Judges 6:34 highlights the role of the Abiezrites during the time of Gideon: "So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew the trumpet, summoning the Abiezrites to follow him." • In Judges 8:2, Gideon addresses the men of Ephraim, referring to the Abiezrites: "But he said to them, 'What have I accomplished now in comparison with you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?'" • Abiezer as a Clan: The Abiezrites were a prominent clan within the tribe of Manasseh, known for their involvement in the military campaigns during the period of the Judges. Gideon, one of the most notable judges of Israel, belonged to this clan, which played a crucial role in the defeat of the Midianites.
