13:24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad ⁴  by its clans. 13:25 Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory ⁵  as far as Aroer near ⁶  Rabbah. 13:26 Their territory ran ⁷  from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir. 13:27 It included the valley of Beth Haram, ⁸  Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, and the rest of the realm of King Sihon of Heshbon, the area east of the Jordan to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth. ⁹  13:28 The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns. ¹⁰ 

[30:10]  ¹ tn Heb “and Zilpah, the servant of Leah, bore for Jacob a son.”

[30:11]  ² tc The statement in the Kethib (consonantal text) appears to mean literally “with good fortune,” if one takes the initial בְּ (bet) as a preposition indicating accompaniment. The Qere (marginal reading) means “good fortune has arrived.”

[30:11]  ³ sn The name Gad (גָּד, gad) means “good fortune.” The name reflects Leah’s feeling that good fortune has come her way, as expressed in her statement recorded earlier in the verse.

[13:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “and half of the land of the sons of Ammon.”

[13:26]  ⁷ tn The words “Their territory ran” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied for clarification.

[13:27]  ⁸ tn Or “it included in the valley, Beth Haram.”

[13:27]  ⁹ sn The Sea of Kinnereth is another name for the Sea of Galilee. See the note on the word “Kinnereth” in 11:2.

[13:28]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad by their clans, the cities and their towns.”
