* The sons.
   The text in these two verses seems to be strangely corrupted;
   and, as it stands, is scarcely intelligible.  Probably it
   should be rendered, "The sons of Manasseh were Ashriel, whom
   his Syrian concubine bore to him; and Machir the father of
   Gilead, whom (his wife) bore to him.  Machir took for a wife
   Maachah, sister to Huppim and Shuppim."  This is nearly the
   version of Dr. Geddes.

 * Machir.
