JOS 13:17 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–33 Moses had distributed the land east of the Jordan River

Before Moses died he had given land to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. In this section Yahweh reminded Joshua of the land that they still had not conquered. Then there is a detailed listing of the boundaries of the lands on the east side of the Jordan River.

Here is another possible section heading:

The land east of the Jordan River

13:17a

to Heshbon

It included Heshbon
It included Heshbon City

to Heshbon: In some languages it may be more natural to begin a new sentence. For example:

It included Heshbon

Heshbon: Heshbon was the capital city of King Sihon. You should translate the name of this town the same way you did in 13:10a.

13:17b

and all its cities on the plateau,

and all the cities on the plain near Heshbon:
and the other cities in the Medeba Plateau.

and all its cities on the plateau: The phrase and all its cities on the plateau indicates all the towns that Sihon king of the Amorites ruled. They were in the plateau or tableland that was near Medeba. These towns are listed in the following verses.

13:17c

including Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
These are Dibon City, Bamoth-baal Region, Beth-baal-meon City,

including Dibon: Dibon was a large town that was captured by Israel (Numbers 21:30). Its name today is Dhiban and it is thirteen miles east of the Dead Sea and three and a half miles north of the Arnon Gorge.13:17 Bratcher and Newman, p. 232.

Bamoth-baal: The term Bamoth-baal indicates the area northeast of the Dead Sea to which Balak took Balaam to curse Israel (Numbers 22:41). Bamoth-baal is not a town, but an area or a region.13:17 Rasmussen p. 228.

Here is another way to spell this name:

Bamoth Baal (NIV, NET)

Beth-baal-meon: The term Beth-baal-meon indicates a town that was twenty-three miles southwest of Amman, Jordan, and ten miles east of the Dead Sea. Its name today is Ma’in.13:17 Rasmussen, p. 228, 229.

Here is another way to spell the name of this town:

Beth Baal Meon (NIV, NET)
