Sheshach was a son of Makir, who was a son of Manasseh. He is mentioned in 1 Chronicles as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Manasseh. His brother Peresh also had sons who are listed in the genealogy.
15Machir took a wife from among the Huppites and Shuppites;* his sister's name was Maacah. The name of the second was Zelophehad, and Zelophehad had only daughters. [*Footnote: Or "Machir took a wife for Huppim and for Shuppim."]
1A lot also fell to the tribe of Manasseh, since he was Joseph's firstborn. Machir, Manasseh's firstborn and the father of Gilead, received Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.
2The rest of the descendants of Manasseh received land by their clans: the sons of Abiezer, the sons of Helek, the sons of Asriel, the sons of Shechem, the sons of Hepher, and the sons of Shemida. These were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, by their clans.
3Now Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
1A lot also fell to the tribe of Manasseh, since he was Joseph's firstborn. Machir, Manasseh's firstborn and the father of Gilead, received Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.
The lineage from Manasseh through Makir to Shereesh and his brother Perez is part of Israel's tribal record, showing God's faithfulness to the promises made to the patriarchs.
