Discovery BoxJoshua 13:7-8 
Context13:7 Now, divide up this land 1 among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
Tribal Lands East of the Jordan
13:8 The other half of Manasseh, 2 Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, 3 just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them.
1 tn Heb “now apportion this land as an inheritance.”
2 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).
3 tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”
