Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠יָקֻ֜מוּ

and,go

As in the similar expressions in [1:2](../01/02.md) and [6:26](../06/26.md), Joshua is using the term arise to mean “take action.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and they will act on this matter]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פִ֥י נַֽחֲלָתָ֖⁠ם

by,portion_of inheritance_of,their

Joshua is using the expression the mouth to mean “the needs,” since people need food to put in their mouths. Alternate translation: [according to what they need to inherit] or [according to the number of regions that these remaining tribes will need to live in]

Tribal Allotments of the Promised Land

After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
