Joshua 13:24-28

13:24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad ³  by its clans. 13:25 Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory ⁴  as far as Aroer near ⁵  Rabbah. 13:26 Their territory ran ⁶  from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir. 13:27 It included the valley of Beth Haram, ⁷  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. ⁸  13:28 The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns. ⁹ 

[13:8]  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).

[13:8]  ² tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

[13:24]  ³ tn Heb “assigned to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad.”

[13:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “and half of the land of the sons of Ammon.”

[13:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “in front of.”

[13:26]  ⁶ tn The words “Their territory ran” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied for clarification.

[13:27]  ⁷ tn Or “it included in the valley, Beth Haram.”

[13:27]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad by their clans, the cities and their towns.”
