Nehemiah 9:22

9:22 “You gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you allocated them to every corner of the land. ¹  They inherited the land of King Sihon of Heshbon ²  and the land of King Og of Bashan.

Nehemiah 9:8

9:8 When you perceived that his heart was faithful toward you, you established a ³  covenant with him to give his descendants ⁴  the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites. You have fulfilled your promise, ⁵  for you are righteous.

[9:22]  ¹ tn The words “of the land” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[9:22]  ² tc Most Hebrew MSS read “the land of Sihon and the land of the king of Heshbon.” The present translation (along with NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, CEV, NLT) follows the reading of one Hebrew MS, the LXX, and the Vulgate.

[9:8]  ³ tn Heb “the” (so NAB).

[9:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “seed.”

[9:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “your words.”
