Joshua 13:6-8
New English Translation
6 I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,[a] all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you.[b] 7 Now, divide up this land[c] among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
Tribal Lands East of the Jordan
8 The other half of Manasseh,[d] Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands on east side of the Jordan,[e] just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them.

- Joshua 13:6 tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 641 s.v. מִשְׂרָפוֹת).
- Joshua 13:6 tn Heb “only you, assign it by lots to Israel as an inheritance as I commanded you.”
- Joshua 13:7 tn Heb “now apportion this land as an inheritance.”
- 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.”
