13:8 The other half of Manasseh, ¹  Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, ²  just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them. 13:9 Their territory started ³  from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley), included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba as far as Dibon, 13:10 and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon, and ended at the Ammonite border. 13:11 Their territory also included ⁴  Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah –

Joshua 2:8

5:5 Now ⁸  all the men ⁹  who left were circumcised, but all the sons ¹⁰  born on the journey through the desert after they left Egypt were uncircumcised.

¹ tn The MT reads “with him,” which is problematic, since the reference would be to the other half of the tribe of Manasseh (not the half mentioned in v. 7).

² tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

³ tn The words “their territory started” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁴ tn The words “their territory also included” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁵ tn Heb “they.”

⁶ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Rahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds, “to them.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.

⁸ tn Or “indeed.”

⁹ tn Heb “people.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “all the people.”
