Machir. 1Ch 2:21-23 Ge 50:23 Nu 26:29-34 Nu 27:1 Nu 32:30-42 De 3:13-15 Jos 13:31 Jos 17:1-3 Re 5:3

The sons.The text in these two verses seems to be strangely corrupted; and, as it stands, is scarcely intelligible. Probably it should be rendered, "The sons of Manasseh were Ashriel, whom his Syrian concubine bore to him; and Machir the father of Gilead, whom (his wife) bore to him. Machir took for a wife Maachah, sister to Huppim and Shuppim." This is nearly the version of Dr. Geddes.
