tn Heb “took.”

tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

tn The MT reads “with him,” which is problematic, since the reference would be to the other half of the tribe of Manasseh (not the half mentioned in v. 7).

tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

tn Heb “Therefore Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance to this day.”

tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim.”

tn Heb “This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin by its borders round about, by their clans.”

tn Heb “and it belonged to the sons of Aaron, from the Kohathite clans, from the sons of Levi.”

10 tn The name “Gath Rimmon” is problematic here, for it appears in the preceding list of Danite cities. The LXX reads “Iebatha”; 1 Chr 6:55 HT (6:70 ET) reads “Bileam.” Most modern translations retain the name “Gath Rimmon,” however.

11 tn Heb “I gave to Esau Mount Seir to possess it.”

12 tn Heb “in Gibeah of Phinehas, his son, which had been given to him in the hill country of Ephraim.”
