[14:1]  ¹ 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]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

[17:4]  ³ 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.”

[19:51]  ¹ tn Heb “the leaders of the fathers of the tribes.”

[22:30]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh.”

[22:32]  ¹ tn Heb “and Phinehas…returned from the sons of Reuben and from the sons of Gad, from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel. And they brought back to them a word.”

[22:31]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh.”

[22:31]  ² tn Heb “because you were not unfaithful with this unfaithfulness against the Lord.”

[22:31]  ³ tn On the use of אָז in a logical sense, see Waltke-O’Connor, Hebrew Syntax, 667.
