The sons of Asher. The descendants of Manasseh This phrase introduces the lineage of Manasseh, one of the sons of Joseph, who was a significant figure in the history of Israel. Manasseh, along with his brother Ephraim, received a blessing from Jacob, their grandfather, which elevated them to the status of Jacob's own sons (Genesis 48:5). This blessing is crucial as it sets the stage for the tribes of Israel, with Manasseh becoming one of the half-tribes. The historical context here is the division of the land of Canaan among the tribes, where Manasseh received a large portion on both sides of the Jordan River, indicating their importance and strength. Asriel whom his Aramean concubine bore she gave birth to Makir the father of Gilead Zelophehad has five daughters, but no sons. Numbers 26:29-33 gives the same line with additions thus:-- This last passage is important, because it expressly declares that the names all represent clans, with the exception of Zelophehad, who "had no sons, but daughters." It also shows that Asriel was great-grandson of Manasseh. The parenthesis of 1Chronicles 7:14, therefore, appears to be intended to warn the reader that Asriel was the "son" of the Aramean concubine of Manasseh, mediately through descent from Machir. Verse 14. - The sons of Manasseh. The tribe of Manasseh has been partly treated of in 1 Chronicles 5:23-26, viz. those of the tribe who inhabited Gilead and Bashan. Here those who inhabited this side Jordan are treated cf. And it is very difficult to give any coherent account of the differences of this passage when compared with Numbers 26:28-34 and Joshua 17:1-4. In these places six families, or heads of families, are noted to only two, or at most three here, viz. Askriel, Shemida, and perhaps Abiezer (iq. Jeezer, Numbers 26:30; comp. with Joshua 17:2). The opening clause of this verse also is unmanageable as it stands. One way of reducing it to coherence would be to Supply the words "his wife" between whom and bars, the similarity of the Hebrew letters of which to those of the Hebrew for "whom" might possibly account for the loss of it. The parenthesis about the concubine would then read with emphasis. But there is not the slightest reason to suppose there was such a wife. Another way would be to read the concubine as the mother of Ashriel, and prefix a conjunction, and, to the second "bare;" i.e. and she bare, or, she bare also Machir." But it seems pretty plain from Numbers and Joshua that Ashriel was not strictly a son, but only descendant of Manasseh; and, further, the irresistible impression is that Machir was the only son, strictly speaking (see especially Genesis 50:23). The position of Ashriel in our present passage, first, is also very unsatisfactory in face of Genesis 50:23 and the other references already given.Parallel Commentaries ...
