Usage: The term "Menashshite" is used to refer to individuals belonging to the tribe of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Israel. This term is specifically used to denote tribal affiliation.

Context: The term מְנַשֶּׁי (Menashshite) is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to identify members of the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Manasseh, the firstborn son of Joseph and grandson of Jacob. The tribe of Manasseh was unique in that it was divided into two half-tribes, with one portion settling on the east side of the Jordan River and the other on the west. This division is reflected in the biblical narrative, where the Menashshites are often mentioned in the context of their territorial inheritance and their role in the history of Israel.

The Menashshites played a significant role in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. They were known for their valor and were involved in various military campaigns alongside other Israelite tribes. The tribe's territory was extensive, stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, and included fertile lands that were crucial for agriculture and livestock.

In the biblical narrative, the Menashshites are often highlighted for their faithfulness to the covenant with God, although there are instances where they, like other tribes, fell into idolatry and disobedience. The tribe of Manasseh is also noted for producing notable leaders and judges, such as Gideon, who delivered Israel from the oppression of the Midianites.

The legacy of the Menashshites is preserved in the genealogies and historical accounts of the Old Testament, where they are consistently recognized as an integral part of the nation of Israel.
