>>4057792 I agree with much of what you have to say. However Manasseh is translated - He who forgets or forgetful. See Genesis 41:51. Given our political division here in the U.S., I find it remarkable that the tribe of Manasseh was split in half, one half east and one half west of the Jordan River. Also the first major land battle of the Civil War was at Manassas or Bull Run in Virginia.
