Deuteronomy 29:8

29:8 Then we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh.

Deuteronomy 4:38

Deuteronomy 19:1

Laws Concerning Manslaughter

19:1 When the Lord your God destroys the nations whose land he ²  is about to give you and you dispossess them and settle in their cities and houses,

Deuteronomy 9:5

9:5 It is not because of your righteousness, or even your inner uprightness, ³  that you have come here to possess their land. Instead, because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out ahead of you in order to confirm the promise he ⁴  made on oath to your ancestors, ⁵  to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

[4:38]  ¹ tn Heb “(as) an inheritance,” that is, landed property that one can pass on to one’s descendants.

[19:1]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[9:5]  ¹ tn Heb “uprightness of your heart” (so NASB, NRSV). The Hebrew word צְדָקָה (tsÿdaqah, “righteousness”), though essentially synonymous here with יֹשֶׁר (yosher, “uprightness”), carries the idea of conformity to an objective standard. The term יֹשֶׁר has more to do with an inner, moral quality (cf. NAB, NIV “integrity”). Neither, however, was grounds for the Lord’s favor. As he states in both vv. 4-5, the main reason he allowed Israel to take this land was the sinfulness of the Canaanites who lived there (cf. Gen 15:16).

[9:5]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[9:5]  ³ tn Heb “fathers.”
