"1PEA fai ‘a e talotalo ma‘a e matakali ‘o Manase; he ko e ‘uluaki foha ia ‘o Siosifa. Ko e me‘a kia Mākili, ko e ‘uluaki foha ‘o Manase ko e tupu‘anga ‘o Kiliati, ko e pāte‘i tau ia, ko ia na‘e tō kiate ia ‘a Kiliati mo Pēsani. 2Ka ko e talotalo na‘e fai ma‘a hono toe ‘o e hako ‘o Manase, ‘a honau ngaahi fāmili: ma‘a ha‘a ‘Apiesa, mo ha‘a Hēleka, mo ha‘a ‘Āselieli, mo ha‘a Sikemi, mo ha‘a Hēfeli, mo ha‘a Sēmita: ko e hako tangata ia ‘o Manase ko e foha ‘o Siosifa ‘i he lau fāmili. 3Ka ko Silofehati ko e foha ‘o Hēfeli, ko e foha ‘o Kiliati, ko e foha ‘o Mākili, ko e foha ‘o Manase, na‘e ‘ikai ha‘ane fānau tangata, ko e ngaahi ‘ōfefine pē: pea ko e hingoa ‘eni ‘o hono ngaahi ‘ōfefine, ko Māhala, mo Noa, ko Hōkela, Milika, mo Tīlisa. 4Pea nau ha‘u ki he ha‘oha‘onga ‘o ‘Eliesa ko e taula‘eiki mo Siosiua ko e foha ‘o Nuni, mo e hou‘eiki, ‘o nau pehē, Na‘e tu‘utu‘uni ‘e Sihova kia Mōsese ke ne ‘omi hamau tofi‘a fakataha mo homau kāinga. Pea ko ia na‘a ne vahe tofi‘a kiate kinautolu fakataha mo e kāinga ‘o honau tupu‘anga, ‘o hangē ko e folofola ‘a Sihova.  5Ko ia na‘e tō ha vahe ‘e hongofulu kia Manase–tuku kehe ‘a Kiliati mo Pēsani, ‘a ia ‘oku ‘i he kauvai ‘e taha ‘o Soatani; 6he na‘e ma‘u tofi‘a ‘e he hako fefine ‘o Manase fakataha mo hono hako tangata: pea ko e fonua ko Kiliati na‘e ma‘u ‘e hono toe ‘o e hako tangata ‘o Manase."

Sios 17:1 “Pea fai ʻa e talotalo maʻae matakali ʻo Manase, he ko e ʻuluaki foha ia ʻo Manase”. Ko e meʻa kia Manasé ko e vaeua ia ʻo e matakali ʻa Siosifá naʻe vahevahe ia ki he konga ʻe ua, ko e taha kuo nau ʻosi nofo kinautolu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo Soatani ki hahake. He ko e ʻuluaki foha ia ʻo Manase, naʻe faʻeleʻi ia ʻi ʻIsipite, ko hoʻona hingoa ka Makili, ko e pateʻitau ia, ʻo tō moʻona ʻa Kiliati mo Pesani (13:29-31). Pea ko e toenga ʻo e matakali ʻo Manase naʻe vahe honau tofiʻa ʻo kinautolu ki he hihifo ʻo Soataní ki he fāmili ia ʻe hongofulu. Naʻe faitonunga pe ʻa Siosiua ki he fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá naʻe fakafou mai ʻia Mosese, ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tofiʻa ʻo Silofehati naʻe ʻikai hano foha, ka ko e toʻutangata ia hono fā meia Manase, ka ko ʻene fānau fefine ʻe toko nima (Nom 26:33). Neongo ko e kakai fefine naʻe ʻikai ke nau kau ʻi he tukufakahoko ke maʻu tofiʻa ʻi he sosaieti ʻo ʻIsilelí. Naʻe vakaiʻi ʻe Mosese ʻa e tukufakaholo kimuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea naʻe finangalo lelei ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ʻoange haʻanau tofiʻa, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau fiemaʻú (Nom 27:1-11). Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Mosese ke tānaki ki he laó, ke ala tokoni ki he kakai fefine kehe ʻi he meʻa tatau pe, ke ʻoange ha nau tofiʻa. ʻOku faingofua pe ke fai ha fili, pe ko ha ʻuhinga koeʻuhi hangē kuo teʻeki ke fai ha meʻa pehē kimuʻa. Kae hangē pe ko Mosese mo Siosiua, ʻoku totonu ke tau vakaiʻi tokanga ʻa e taumuʻa ʻo e laó mo ʻene lelei ki he kakai kehé, pea toki fakapapauʻi. He ko kinautolu ʻoku nau fai ʻi he māmani ko ení ʻi hono toafá, ke fakapapauʻi ʻekinautolu ha feituʻu ʻi he tofiʻa ʻo e kau maʻoniʻoni ʻi he maama, ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nau fakaʻikaiʻi ia, te nau mole taʻengata taʻe ʻi ai ha tofiʻa. “ʻE ʻOtua ē, akoʻi kimautolu ʻi heni, ke mau tui mo talangofua pea ke ʻomi kiate kimautolu , ʻi he lotolotonga hoʻo kau maʻoniʻoní, ʻi he langilangi taʻengata.
