JOS 13:7 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.

13.7 Et nunc. Post hoc autem legitur quia Moses dedit hæreditatem quibusdam, et postea Jesus secundum præceptum Domini distribuit hæreditatem. Per Mosen, legem intellige: qui secundum legem vixerunt, primi hæreditatem receperunt, sed extra terram promissionis. Cumque eam accepissent, non eam possident, neque dividunt inter se; sed exspectant usquequo eis per Jesum distribuatur in sortem. Hinc Apostolus ait: Hi omnes testimonium habentes per fidem nondum consecuti sunt promissiones, Deo pro nobis aliquid melius providente, ne sine nobis consummarentur Hebr. 11.. Habent igitur jam promissionem suam et requieverunt, digni judicati per Mosen capere hæreditatem suam, sed adhuc pugnant pro his qui sub Jesu militant. Omnes enim Patres qui ante nos dormierunt, pugnant nobiscum et orationibus adjuvant, unde: Ablinget synagoga illa hanc synagogam, sicut ablingit vitulus herbam viridem de campo. Synagoga enim Domini quæ nos præcessit, ore et lingua consumet omnem contrariam synagogam, id est, orationibus consumet adversarios nostros. Orationibus ergo et verbi Dei meditatione et opere et sensu recto pugnandum est. ADAM., hom. 17. Sicut umbræ exemplari deserviunt cœlestium, etc., usque ad per Jesum accipiunt hæreditatem. Tribui. Levitis autem neque Moses dedit hæreditatem, neque Jesus. Quia ipse Deus est hæreditas eorum. Hi sunt forte qui in Ecclesia, virtute animi et meritorum gratia alios præcedunt. Hi sunt forte, qui in populo salvandorum sapientiæ et scientiæ operam tribuunt et mentem suam puram custodiunt, et omnibus præclaris virtutibus excolunt et simpliciores docent quomodo veniant ad salutem: horum hæreditas ipse Dominus est, qui est sapientia, quam præ cæteris omnibus dilexerunt.

13.7 And now. After this however it_is_read because Moses he_gave inheritance to_some, and afterwards Yesus after/second precept/rule Master distributes inheritance. Per Mosen, the_law intellige: who/which after/second the_law they_lived, first inheritance they_received, but outside the_earth/land of_promise. And_when her to_have_receivednt, not/no her get_itnt, nor dividunt between himself; but they_are_waiting so_far to_them through Yesus distribuatur in/into/on lot. Hence Apostolus he_said: They everyone testimony having through faith not_yet consecuti are promises, to_God for us something better providente, not without us consummarentur Hebr. 11.. Habent therefore already promise his_own and restverunt, worthy judgesi through Mosen to_catch inheritance his_own, but still fightnt for his who/which under Yesu militant. All_of_them because Fathers who/which before us sleeperunt, fightnt with_us and prayers assisted, from_where/who: Ablinget synagogue that this synagogue, like ablingit calf grass greenm from/about field. Synagoga because Master which us preceded, vocally and tongue/language will_consume all opposite synagogue, that it_is, prayers will_consume adversaries ours. Speech/Prayernibus therefore and words of_God meditatione and by_work and sense straight to_fight it_is. ADAM., man. 17. Like shadows examplesri deserviunt heavenly, etc., until to through Yesus they_accept inheritance. Tribui. to_the_Levites however nor Moses he_gave inheritance, nor Yesus. Because exactly_that/himself God it_is inheritance their. They are perhaps who/which in/into/on Assembly/Church, by_virtue of_the_soul and deservedlyrum grace others beforecedunt. They are perhaps, who/which in/into/on to_the_people savendorum of_wisdom and of_knowledge attention they_give and mind his_own pure they_keep, and to_all beforeclaris virtues excolunt and simpliciores teach how they_come to health: of_these inheritance exactly_that/himself Master it_is, who/which it_is wisdom, how before the_rests to_all dilexerunt.

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

13:7a

Now therefore divide this land as an inheritance

Now, divide up this land as an inheritance
So, divide this land

Now therefore: The Hebrew words that the BSB translates as Now therefore are literally “and now.” The word Now indicates that the time has arrived for Joshua to divide the land between the Israelite tribes. Use a joining word that is natural to connect this clause with the preceding clause.

divide this land as an inheritance: The clause divide this land as an inheritance has the same meaning as the command in 13:6d. It is repeated for emphasis, using different words.

13:7b

to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

for the nine clans and the half-clan of Manasseh.”
for the nine clans and half the clan of Manasseh to own.”

to the nine tribes: The phrase to the nine tribes indicates the nine tribes of Israel that had not yet received land. These nine tribes are Judah, Ephraim, Benjamin, Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Dan.

and the half-tribe of Manasseh: The phrase the half-tribe of Manasseh indicates those people of the tribe of the Manasseh who chose to live west of the Jordan River.

There is a textual issue in this verse. The Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation, includes another clause at the end of verse 13:7 which is not in the Hebrew text. Most English versions do not include this clause, but it is found in the NJB:

from the Jordan as far as the Great Sea in the west, you must give it them; the Great Sea will be their limit (NJB)

It is recommended that you do not include this clause unless it is included in the majority language version in your area.
