[[Gideon]] declares ( Judges 6:15 ) that the family is the poorest in Manasseh, words similar to those of Saul ( 1 Samuel 9:21 ), and not to be taken too literally. [[Joash]] would be a man of standing and wealth, for Gideon was able to command 10 servants to destroy the altar and the [[Asherah]] ( Judges 6:27 , Judges 6:34 ), and also to summon the whole clan to follow him. Further, the altar that Joash had was that used by the community ( Judges 6:28 ), so that he would be the priest, not only of his own family <i> qua paterfamilias </i> , but also of the community in virtue of his position as chief.
