19:51 These are the land assignments which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders 3 made by drawing lots in Shiloh before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 4 So they finished dividing up the land.
1 tn This sense is created by repetition: “one leader, one leader from the tribe.”
2 tn The sentence simply uses לִנְחֹל (linkhol, “to divide, apportion”). It has been taken already to mean “allocate as an inheritance.” Here “assist” may be added since Joshua and Eleazar had the primary work.
3 tn Heb “the leaders of the fathers of the tribes.”
4 tn Heb “at the entrance of the tent of assembly.”
