Footnote 3 – The Trek of the Tribes as They Settled in Canaan
At this time Manasseh was apparently called Machir, a son of Manasseh. See, for example the early poem known as the Song of Deborah, where Manasseh is still referred to as Machir (Judges 5:14). See Lawrence Stager, “The Song of Deborah—Why Some Tribes Answered the Call and Others Did Not,” BAR 15:01.
