Exegesis
The adversative wa-ḥăṣî {וַחֲצִ֖י | wa-ḥăṣî} ‘and half’ adds a secondary recipient, followed by ha-šê·ḇeṭ {הַשֵּׁ֥בֶט | ha-šê·ḇeṭ} ‘the tribe’ and ha-menasheh {הַֽמְנַשֶּֽׁה | ham-menashéh} ‘of Manasseh’. English word order preserves the imperative force and distribution structure of the Hebrew.
Root and etymology
š-b-ṭShin–Bet–Tet
