¹ 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).

² tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

³ tn Heb “from the remnant of the Rephaites.”

sn The Rephaites were apparently an extremely tall ethnic group. See Deut 2:10-11, 20; 3:11.

⁴ tn Or “dispossessed them.”
