13:8 The other half of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them.

Joshua 13:24-28

13:24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad by its clans. 13:25 Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory as far as Aroer near Rabbah. 13:26 Their territory ran from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir. 13:27 It included the valley of Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, and the rest of the realm of King Sihon of Heshbon, the area east of the Jordan to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth. 13:28 The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns.


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 “assigned to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad.”

tn Heb “and half of the land of the sons of Ammon.”

tn Heb “in front of.”

tn The words “Their territory ran” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied for clarification.

tn Or “it included in the valley, Beth Haram.”

sn The Sea of Kinnereth is another name for the Sea of Galilee. See the note on the word “Kinnereth” in 11:2.

tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad by their clans, the cities and their towns.”
