According to the Hebrew Bible, the Tribe of Manasseh (Hebrew: מְנַשֶּׁה, Modern Mənašše Tiberian Mənaššeh) "who makes to forget") was one of the Tribes of Israel. Together with the Tribe of Ephraim, Manasseh also formed the House of Joseph. From that time, the Tribe of Manasseh has been counted as one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
