And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.

Itaque dedit Moses Galaad ipsi Machir filio Manasse, et habitavit in ea.

And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh,.... That is, to the children of Machir, who went and took it; though some say, as Aben Ezra observes, that Machir himself was now alive, and that it was given to him, but that is not probable; for, supposing him to be living when the children of Israel came out of Egypt, all that came from thence, who were twenty years old and upwards, died in the wilderness, excepting two, see Numbers 32:11,
and he dwelt therein; that is, the family of the Macharite; see Numbers 26:29.

Machir - Not to Machir himself, who doubtless was long since dead, but the family or posterity of Machir.
