ten portions . As there were six sons and five daughters , among whom this division was to be made , there should be eleven portions , but Zelophehad , son of Hepher , having left five daughters in his place , neither he nor Hepher is reckoned. The lot of Manasseh therefore was divided into ten parts; five for the five sons of Gilead , Abiezer , Helek , Asriel , Shechem , and Shemida; and five for the five daughters of Zelophehad , Mahlah , Noah , Hoglah , Milcah , and Tirzah.

Asher . Eusebius says this was a town in his time not far from Neapolis , towards Scythopolis or Bethshan; between which towns it is also placed by the old Jerusalem Itinerary.
Michmethah . Situated , probably , east of Shechem , though its precise situation , as well as that of many others , cannot , at this distance of time , be ascertained. Many of these towns were small , and we may rationally conclude , slightly built; and consequently have perished more than two thousand years ago. It would therefore be useless now to look for such places; though in many instances , their ancient names have been preserved , and their sites identified. Several towns even in England , mentioned by Cesar and other ancient writers , are no longer discernible; several have changed their names , and not a few their situation. Joshua 16 . 6-8

Manasseh . Joshua 16 . 9 , 1 Chronicles 7 . 29 , Beth-shean , the Scythopolis of the Greek and Roman writers , was situated in the plain of Jordan , west of that river , 120 furlongs . south from Tiberias , according to Josephus , and 600 furlongs . north from Jerusalem . 2; Mac 1 Chronicles 12 . 29. It was the largest city of the Decapolis , and the only one on that side of Jordan.
