[17:14]  ¹ tn Heb “Why have you given me as an inheritance one lot and one portion, though I am a great people until [the time] which, until now the Lord has blessed me?” The construction עַד אֲשֶׁר־עַד־כֹּה (’ad-’asher-’ad-koh, “until [the time] which, until now”) is extremely awkward. An emendation of the first עַד (’ad) to עַל (’al) yields a more likely reading: “for until now” (see HALOT 2:787).

[19:9]  ² tn Heb “from the portion of the sons of Judah was the inheritance of the sons of Simeon for the portion of the sons of Judah was too large for them, and the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.”

[18:7]  ³ tn Or “the priesthood of the Lord.”

[18:7]  ⁴ tn Or “inheritance.”

[15:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “To Caleb son of Jephunneh he gave a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah according to the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord to Joshua, Kiriath Arba (the father of Anak), it is Hebron.”

[14:4]  ⁵ 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.”

[22:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “You have no portion in the Lord.”

[22:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “fearing.”

[22:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “but it is a witness between us and you.”

[22:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “to do the service of the Lord before him.”

[22:27]  ⁹ tn Or “peace offerings.”

[22:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “You have no portion in the Lord.”

[24:32]  ⁸ tn Heb “one hundred qesitahs.” The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qesitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value and/or weight is unknown. The word occurs only here and in Gen 33:19 and Job 42:11.

[24:32]  ⁹ tn Heb “and they became for the sons of Joseph an inheritance.” One might think “bones” is the subject of the verb “they became,” but the verb is masculine, while “bones” is feminine. The translation follows the emendation suggested in the BHS note, which appeals to the Syriac and Vulgate for support. The emended reading understands “the part (of the field)” as the subject of the verb “became.” The emended verb is feminine singular; this agrees with “the part” (of the field), which is feminine in Hebrew.

[17:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “house.”
