Exegesis
The phrase u-mechatsi matteh Menasheh {וּ֠מֵחֲצִי מַטֵּ֨ה מְנַשֶּׁ֤ה | ū-mē-ḥă-ṣî maṭ-ṭē mə-naš-šeh} ‘and from half (of) the tribe of Manasseh’ narrows the final source, and babashan {בַבָּשָׁן֙ | ba-bā-šān} ‘in Bashan’ locates that half-tribe geographically.
In context — Joshua 21:6
And to the sons of Gershon, from the families of the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher, and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from half the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, by lot, thirteen cities.
