Explanation preview
This verse sits inside the genealogy of Manasseh, one of Joseph's sons, in the Chronicler's survey of Israel's tribes after the exile. Machir, son of Manasseh, is a leading clan figure, and his marriage into the Huppites and Shuppites, groups also linked to Benjamin and Ephraim elsewhere in this chapter, shows how the tribes were bound together by kinship.
