Joshua 13:7-9

13:7 Now, divide up this land ¹  among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

Tribal Lands East of the Jordan

13:8 The other half of Manasseh, ²  Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, ³  just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them. 13:9 Their territory started ⁴  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,

[13:7]  ¹ tn Heb “now apportion this land as an inheritance.”

[13:8]  ² 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).

[13:8]  ³ tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

[13:9]  ³ tn The words “their territory started” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
