Numbers 32:40 ; Numbers 32:42. Moses gave Gilead unto Machir Not to Machir himself, who doubtless was long since dead, but the family or posterity of Machir. Nobah Who, though not elsewhere named, was doubtless an eminent person of the tribe of Manasseh. It is observable, that these tribes, as they were placed before the other tribes, so they were displaced before them. They were carried captive by the king of Assyria, some years before the other tribes. Such a proportion does Providence frequently observe in balancing prosperity and adversity.
