NET Notes

1 tn Heb “Moses did not assign an inheritance.” The word “land” has been supplied in the translation to clarify what the inheritance consisted of.

2 tn That is, “their source of food and life.”

3 tn Or “as he promised”; Heb “as he spoke to.”

3 sn For the background of this observation, see Deut 18:1-2.
