[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.”

[13:23]  ³ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their clans, the cities and their towns.”

[16:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “The territory of the sons of Ephraim was for their clans.”

[16:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim.”

[18:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “I will send them so they may arise and walk about in the land and describe it in writing according to their inheritance and come to me.”

[18:28]  ¹¹ tn The word “city” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[18:28]  ¹³ tn The structure of this list presents problems. In v. 28 no conjunction appears before “Haeleph” or “Kiriath” in the Hebrew text. This suggests they should be compounded with the preceding names, yielding “Zelah Haeleph” and “Gibeah Kiriath” respectively. This results in a list of only twelve cities, however, while the summary statement (v. 28) gives the number fourteen. One should note, however, that the city lists in chap. 15 do not consistently use the conjunction before the name of each city. See also Josh 19:7, where no conjunction appears before “Rimmon,” but the summary assumes that Ain and Rimmon are distinct.

[18:28]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin.”

[19:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “this was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon.”

[19:49]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “an inheritance in their midst.”
