Joshua 13:8

Tribal Lands East of the Jordan

13:8 The other half of Manasseh, ¹  Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, ²  just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them.

Joshua 14:4

14:4 The descendants of Joseph were considered as two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were allotted no territory, though they were assigned cities in which to live, along with the grazing areas for their cattle and possessions. ³ 

Joshua 15:33

15:33 These cities were ⁴  in the lowlands: ⁵  Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah,

[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.”

[14:4]  ³ tn Heb “and they did not assign a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities [in which] to live and their pastures for their cattle and property.”

[15:33]  ⁵ tn The words “these cities were” have been supplied for English stylistic reasons.

[15:33]  ⁶ tn Or “the foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”
