Dictionary Summary:A Levite descended from Gershom ([Judg. 18:30](/judg#Judg.18.30)). His history is recorded in 17:7-13 and 18:30. The Rabbins changed this name into Manasseh “to screen the memory of the great lawgiver from the stain of having so unworthy an apostate among his near descendants.” He became priest of the idol image at Dan, and this office continued in his family till the Captivity. 2
