4:38 to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you and brought you here this day to give you their land as your property. ¹  4:39 Today realize and carefully consider that the Lord is God in heaven above and on earth below – there is no other!

Deuteronomy 29:7

29:7 When you came to this place King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan came out to make war and we defeated them.

Deuteronomy 29:10

29:10 You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God – the heads of your tribes, ²  your elders, your officials, every Israelite man,

¹ tn Heb “(as) an inheritance,” that is, landed property that one can pass on to one’s descendants.

² tc Heb “your heads, your tribes.” The Syriac presupposes either “heads of your tribes” or “your heads, your judges,” etc. (reading שֹׁפְטֵכֶם [shofÿtekhem] for שִׁבְטֵיכֶם [shivtekhem]). Its comparative difficulty favors the originality of the MT reading. Cf. KJV “your captains of your tribes”; NRSV “the leaders of your tribes”; NLT “your tribal leaders.”
