30The territory from Mahanaim through all Bashan—all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all the towns of Jair that are in Bashan, sixty cities; 31half of Gilead; and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan.
All this was for the clans of the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, half of the descendants of Machir.
32These were the portions Moses had given them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho.
Adopted!
Manasseh, the elder son of Joseph, himself a son of Jacob.
Machir son of Manasseh.
Joseph names his firstborn son Manasseh (Genesis 41:51) and years later Manasseh is adopted by Joseph's father, Jacob (Genesis 48:5). Joseph's firstborn son is the forefather of one of the Israelite tribes.
I’ve been adopted by God the Father!
Ephesians 1:5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
Have you been adopted by God the Father?
I can’t wait to go home, can you?
Blessings
