The word Jehoshaphat is the name of a valley. In your translation, you could spell it the way it sounds in your language, as the ULT does, or you could use a word or phrase from your language that expresses the meaning of this name, which is “Yahweh judges.” Alternate translation: [the Valley of Yahweh-Judges]

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word inheritance tells what kind of people the Israelites are to Yahweh. In this context, the word inheritance refers to a portion that someone would choose for himself. Alternate translation: [my chosen people, Israel]

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and because they divided up my land]
