Half of the tribe of Manasseh settled land on the East bank of the Jordan River.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

The statement is True.

In biblical history, specifically in the Old Testament, the tribe of Manasseh was divided into two half-tribes: the eastern half settled on the east side of the Jordan River, while the western half settled on the west side. This division occurred following the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and their subsequent conquest of Canaan. The eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh, along with the tribes of Reuben and Gad, chose to inhabit land east of the Jordan River, seeking territories that suited their interests, particularly for pastoral activities. This settlement was a significant part of the distribution of land among the tribes of Israel after their conquest of Canaan, highlighting the complex social and geographical dynamics of ancient Israelite tribes.
