Machir or Makir, Hebrew, meaning "bartered", was the name of two figures in the Hebrew Bible. * Machir was the son of Manasseh, grandson of Joseph, and father of Gilead.〔Numbers 26:29〕 Joseph lived to see and to play a part in the up-bringing of Machir and his children.〔Genesis 50:23〕 In the Torah's account of the journey of the Israelites after the Exodus, Machir (the individual) is portrayed as conquering the territories known as Gilead and Bashan, which had previously been occupied by Amorites.〔Numbers 32:39-40〕〔Deuteronomy 3:15〕 Half of the tribe of Manasseh, those descended from Machir, are described as having settled in Gilead and Bashan,〔Numbers 36:1-3〕 and consequently they were important in Gilead's history. The Isaric Jews of Indonesia claim descent from Machir. * According to the Books of Samuel, Machir son of Amiel was the name of a descendant of the Machir mentioned above, who resided at Lo-Debar. The text states that here he looked after Meribaal, the son of Jonathan, until David took over his care,〔2 Samuel 9:4〕 and also looked after David himself, when David found himself a fugitive〔2 Samuel 17:27〕 ==See also== * Tribe of Manasseh * Machir (Biblical region) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Machir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
