God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter. Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
In triumph I will parcel out Shechem

and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth
Genesis 33:17 Jacob, however, went to Sukkoth, where he built a place for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is called Sukkoth [shelters].
Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine

This was for the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh--for half the sons of Makir, according to their clans.
Ephraim is my helmet
Genesis 33:17 "In majesty he [Joseph] is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim; such are the thousands of Manasseh."
Judah is my scepter
Genesis 29:35 She [Leah] conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "This time I will praise the LORD." So she named him Judah [praise]. Then she stopped having children.
