17 The son of Ulam: Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.

His sister Hammolecheth gave birth to Ishhod, Abiezer, and Mahlah.

19 And these were the sons of Shemida: Ahian, Shechem, Likhi, and Aniam.

20 The descendants of Ephraim: Shuthelah, Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eleadah his son, Tahath his son,
