me.nash.shi identifies a person or group in tribal and territorial references associated with Manasseh.

    In Deuteronomy 4:43 the masculine singular gentilic marks the party to whom Golan in Bashan belongs; the APB renders the clause "belonging to the Manassite." In 2 Kings 10:33 and 1 Chronicles 26:32, it occurs beside Gadite and Reubenite identifications in descriptions of land and assigned oversight; the APB renders "the Manassites" and "the half-tribe of the Manassites." Deuteronomy 29:7 contains the same form, but the APB's battle summary does not make its specific contribution identifiable.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Where the correspondence is clear, the APB presents the term as "the Manassite," "the Manassites," or "the half-tribe of the Manassites." In Deuteronomy 29:7, the translation does not visibly reflect the term's contribution.
