Used to designate a segment of the tribe of Manasseh which received territory on both sides of the Jordan river. The term usually refers to that part of Manasseh dwelling to the east of the Jordan along with Reuben and Gad (Numbers 32:33; Deuteronomy 3:13; Joshua 1:12; Joshua 4:12; Joshua 22:1 ). Those living west of the Jordan are sometimes called “the rest of the tribe of Manasseh” (Joshua 17:2 NRSV) or the “other half” ( Joshua 22:7 ). See Tribes of Israel.
