What Does Joshua 13:29 Mean?
The third eastern allotment is named. Moses gave the half tribe of Manasseh its inheritance, a possession apportioned by their families. Manasseh, son of Joseph, was divided, with half settling east of the Jordan and half to the west.
Once more the gift is ordered family by family, the same faithful pattern holding for this tribe as for the others. That Manasseh is split between two regions shows the inheritance spreading wide, yet still personally assigned to each household. God's provision reaches across the river and through the generations of Joseph's line. In the careful granting of this possession, the steadfast care of God continues, settling every branch of His people in a portion that is truly their own.
