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, who his Syrian concubines 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.
