Joshua 13:14

Context
13:14 However, Moses 1  did not assign land as an inheritance 2  to the Levites; their inheritance 3  is the sacrificial offerings 4  made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed 5  them.

Joshua 22:23

Context
22:23 If we have built 6  an altar for ourselves to turn back from following the Lord by making 7  burnt sacrifices and grain offerings on it, or by offering 8  tokens of peace 9  on it, the Lord himself will punish us. 10 

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “did not assign an inheritance.”

3 tn That is, “their source of food and life.”

4 tn Or “offerings made by fire.”

5 tn Or “promised” (Heb “spoke”).

sn For the background of this observation, see Deut 18:1-2.

6 tn Heb “by building.” The prepositional phrase may be subordinated to what precedes, “if in unfaithfulness…by building.”

7 tn Heb “or if to offer up.”

8 tn Heb “or if to make.”

9 tn Or “peace offerings.”

10 tn Heb “the Lord, he will seek.” Perhaps this is a self-imprecation in an oath, “may the Lord himself punish us.”
