Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

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.

Machir: 1 Chronicles 2:21-23, Genesis 50:23, Numbers 26:29-34, Numbers 27:1, Numbers 32:30-42, Deuteronomy 3:13-15, Joshua 13:31, Joshua 17:1-3, Judges 5:14

Reciprocal: Genesis 46:20 - Manasseh Numbers 1:34 - Manasseh Numbers 36:1 - Gilead

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The sons of Manasseh; Ashriel, whom she bare,.... The wife of Manasseh, as distinguished from his concubine in the next clause; though the Targum reads, in connection with that,

"whom his Aramitess (or Syrian) concubine bare;''

and then adds,

who also bare Machir the father of Gilead; so that Ashriel and Machir were brethren; from which Ashriel sprung the family of the Ashrielites, Numbers 26:29 as from Machir the Machirites, Numbers 26:29.
