Usage: Makir is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person and a tribal group. Makir is most notably recognized as the firstborn son of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. The descendants of Makir became a significant clan within the tribe of Manasseh, often referred to as the "Makirites." Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, tribal affiliations were crucial for identity, inheritance, and social structure. Makir, as a descendant of Joseph through Manasseh, held a prominent position.

This settlement was part of the broader division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom makar Definition two Isr. NASB Translation Machir (22).
