Joshua 14:12

14:12 Now, assign me this hill country which the Lord promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. ¹  But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer ²  them, as the Lord promised.”

Joshua 14:1

Judah’s Tribal Lands

14:1 The following is a record of the territory assigned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders. ³ 

Joshua 17:4

17:4 They went before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord told Moses to assign us land among our relatives.” ⁴  So Joshua ⁵  assigned them land among their uncles, as the Lord had commanded. ⁶ 

Joshua 17:1-2

17:1 The tribe of Manasseh, Joseph’s firstborn son, was also allotted land. ⁷  The descendants of Makir, Manasseh’s firstborn and the father of Gilead, received land, for they were warriors. ⁸  They were assigned Gilead and Bashan. ⁹  17:2 The rest of Manasseh’s descendants were also assigned land ¹⁰  by their clans, including the descendants of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.

Joshua 21:16-22

21:16 Ain, Juttah, and Beth Shemesh, along with the grazing areas of each – a total of nine cities taken from these two tribes. 21:17 From the tribe of Benjamin they assigned ¹¹  Gibeon, Geba, 21:18 Anathoth, and Almon, along with the grazing areas of each – a total of four cities. 21:19 The priests descended from Aaron received thirteen cities and their grazing areas.

21:20 The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted cities from the tribe of Ephraim. 21:21 They assigned them Shechem (a city of refuge for one who committed manslaughter) in the hill country of Ephraim, Gezer, 21:22 Kibzaim, and Beth Horon, along with the grazing areas of each – a total of four cities.

Jeremiah 9:23

9:23 ¹² The Lord says,

“Wise people should not boast that they are wise.

Powerful people should not boast that they are powerful. ¹³ 

Rich people should not boast that they are rich. ¹⁴ 

[14:12]  ¹ tn Heb “are there and large, fortified cities.”

[14:12]  ² tn Or “will dispossess.”

[14:1]  ³ tn Heb “These are [the lands] which the sons of Israel received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes assigned as an inheritance to the sons of Israel.”

[17:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

[17:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

[17:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”

[17:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the lot belonged to the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph.”

[17:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “to Makir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war.”

[17:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “Gilead and Bashan belonged to him.”

[17:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and it belonged to the sons of Manasseh who remained.”

[21:17]  ¹¹ tn The words “they assigned” are supplied for clarification (also in vv. 23, 25).

[9:23]  ¹² sn It is not always clear why verses were placed in their present position in the editorial process of collecting Jeremiah’s sermons and the words the Lord spoke to him (see Jer 36:4, 32 for reference to two of these collections). Here it is probable that vv. 23-26 were added as a further answer to the question raised in v. 12.

[9:23]  ¹³ tn Or “Strong people should not brag that they are strong.”

[9:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “…in their wisdom…in their power…in their riches.”
