Joshua 13:8-10
New English Translation
Tribal Lands East of the Jordan
8 The other half of Manasseh,[a] Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands on east side of the Jordan,[b] just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them. 9 Their territory started[c] from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley), included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba as far as Dibon, 10 and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon, and ended at the Ammonite border.

- Joshua 13:8 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).
- Joshua 13:8 tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan to the east.”
- Joshua 13:9 tn The words “their territory started” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
