Manassite (adjective), of the tribe of Manasseh
A gentillic adjective identifying members or territory of the tribe of Manasseh, specifically the half-tribe that settled east of the Jordan. It appears in designating cities of refuge (Deuteronomy 4:43), territorial descriptions (2 Kings 10:33), tribal genealogies, and administrative divisions (1 Chronicles 26:32). The term distinguished the Transjordanian Manassites from their western counterparts, acknowledging the tribal division created when part of Manasseh chose to settle in Gilead and Bashan rather than cross into Canaan proper.
Senses
1. sense 1 — An ethnic-geographical adjective meaning 'of Manasseh' or 'Manassite,' specifically referring to the eastern half-tribe. The multilingual glosses preserve the gentillic form ('Manassite,' 'manasita'). The term's use in legal (cities of refuge), military (territorial conquest), and administrative (Levitical assignments) contexts reflects the tribe's ongoing distinct identity even after settlement, particularly the unique status of having territory on both sides of the Jordan. 4×
