Yosua 13:32-33

13:32 These are the land assignments made by Moses ¹  on the plains of Moab east of the Jordan River opposite Jericho. ²  13:33 However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance ³  to the Levites; their inheritance ⁴  is the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed ⁵  them.

[13:32]  ¹ tn Heb “These are [the lands] which Moses gave as an inheritance.”

[13:32]  ² tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied to clarify the meaning.

[13:33]  ⁴ tn That is, “their source of food and life.”

[13:33]  ⁵ tn Or “as he promised”; Heb “as he spoke to.”
