Joshua 19:1-2

New English Translation

Footnotes

1. Joshua 19:1 tn Heb “and the second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon by their clans.”tc The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate omit “for Simeon.”
2. Joshua 19:2 tn Heb “and they had in their inheritance.”
3. Joshua 19:2 tc The MT has “and Sheba” listed after “Beer Sheba.” The LXX suggests “Shema.” The Hebrew text may be defective here, since the form “Sheba” duplicates the latter part of the preceding name. If Sheba (or Shema) is retained as a separate city, the list numbers fourteen, one more than the number given in the concluding summary (v. 6). Some translations treat it as an alternate shorter name for “Beer Sheba” rendering it as “or Sheba;” cf. HCSB, TNIV, and JPS.
