OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was to/for_them (in)_inheritance_of_their Bəʼēr Sheⱱaˊ and_Sheⱱaˊ and_Mōlādāh.

OET (OET-RV) Shimeon’s inheritance included: Beer-Sheba,[fn] Moladah,

19:2 TC: Ancient manuscripts differ, with some adding Sheba (possibly a mistaken reduplication) or Shema here (but that would make the total number wrong that’s given in v6).

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 19:1–9: The clan of Simeon received their land

19:2

and included Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah,

and included Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah: The towns listed in verses 2–6 were in the south part of the land that belonged to the clan of Judah.

Beersheba: There is also an interpretation issue with the word Beersheba.

  1. Sheba is another name for the town of Beersheba. For example:

    Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah (NIV) (BSB, NIV, NET, NJPS, NASB, GW, REB, KJV)

  2. Sheba is a different town. It is not the same town as Beersheba. For example:

    Beersheba, Sheba, Moladah (ESV) (ESV, RSV, NRSV, NLT, GNT)

It is recommended that you follow option (1) along with many English versions. There is a similar list of the towns that belonged to the clan of Simeon in 1 Chronicles 4:28. That list does not include the town of Sheba. Moreover, if Sheba is counted as an independent town in this list, the total number of towns would come to fourteen, rather than thirteen, as stated in verse 6. Because of this, many Bible scholars consider the term Sheba to be an alternative name for the town of Beersheba.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

They received the following towns as its permanent possession: Beersheba, which is also called Sheba, and Moladah

The land that was assigned to them included the following towns: Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah

Sheba: There is a textual issue with the word Sheba.

  1. The text should say Sheba. This follows the Masoretic Text. (BSB, NIV, NET, RSV, ESV, NJPS, NASB, GW, GNT, KJV)

  2. The text should say Shema. This follows the Septuagint, and it also agrees with Joshua 15:26. (NABRE, NJB, CEV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). This is the reading of most English versions, and is supported by many commentaries.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

19:2-9 Some of the towns given to the tribe of Simeon were also part of Judah’s allocation because Judah’s territory was too large for them (cp. 17:14-18). Judah apparently absorbed most of Simeon’s territory into its own before the end of the Old Testament period.
