Manasseh
Tribe of Israel
Manasseh is a biblical name borne by two significant figures in the Hebrew scriptures: the elder son of Joseph, whose descendants formed one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and a later king of Judah whose long reign was marked by idolatry.
The name means "causing to forget" in Hebrew, referring to Joseph forgetting his hardships.
The tribe of Manasseh settled on both sides of the Jordan River.
