Job 3:12

The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.

After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.

Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”

For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.

‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.

The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”

His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.

Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan; the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.

I gave Gilead to Machir.

This was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.

Afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he took as wife when he was sixty years old; and she bore him Segub.

The sons of Manasseh: Asriel, whom his concubine the Aramitess bore. She bore Machir the father of Gilead.

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.

Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.

For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing within the earth;

The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty, a place of wide rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.

Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.

For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which Yahweh’s mouth will name.

that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”

They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
