Deuteronomy 1:8

Context
1:8 Look! I have already given the land to you. 1  Go, occupy the territory that I, 2  the Lord, promised 3  to give to your ancestors 4  Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants.” 5 

Deuteronomy 1:36

Context
1:36 The exception is Caleb son of Jephunneh; 6  he will see it and I will give him and his descendants the territory on which he has walked, because he has wholeheartedly followed me.” 7 

Deuteronomy 3:12

Context
Distribution of the Transjordanian Allotments

3:12 This is the land we brought under our control at that time: The territory extending from Aroer 8  by the Wadi Arnon and half the Gilead hill country with its cities I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites. 9 

Deuteronomy 3:16

Context
3:16 To the Reubenites and Gadites I allocated the territory extending from Gilead as far as Wadi Arnon (the exact middle of the wadi was a boundary) all the way to the Wadi Jabbok, the Ammonite border.

1 tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

2 tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.

3 tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.

4 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).

5 tn Heb “their seed after them.”

6 sn Caleb had, with Joshua, brought back to Israel a minority report from Canaan urging a conquest of the land, for he was confident of the Lord’s power (Num 13:6, 8, 16, 30; 14:30, 38).

7 tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“me”) has been employed in the translation, since it sounds strange to an English reader for the Lord to speak about himself in third person.

8 tn The words “the territory extending” are not in the Hebrew text; they are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

sn Aroer. See note on this term in Deut 2:36.

9 sn Reubenites and Gadites. By the time of Moses’ address the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had already been granted permission to settle in the Transjordan, provided they helped the other tribes subdue the occupants of Canaan (cf. Num 32:28-42).
