Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted 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 21:1–45 The clan of Levi received towns to live in

21:25

And from the half-tribe of Manasseh they were given Taanach and Gath-rimmon—two cities, together with their pasturelands.

And: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as And indicates the next event in the story. It may be more natural in some languages to omit this conjunction.

from the half-tribe of Manasseh: The half-tribe of Manasseh refers to the part of the clan of Manasseh that lived west of the Jordan River.

Taanach: The town of Taanach was mentioned in 12:21. It was on the border of the lands that belonged to the clans of Issachar and Manasseh.Rasmussen p.252.

Gath-rimmon: There is a textual issue with the name of this town:

  1. The name of the town is Jibleam. NJB, CEV

  2. The name of the town is Gath-rimmon. BSB, RSV, ESV, NIV, NET, NASB, GW, REB, NJPS, NABRE, GNT, NLT, KJV

It is recommended that you follow option (1). This is not the word in the Hebrew text, but it is supported by one ancient Greek manuscript and by the parallel passage in I Chronicles 6:70. This is the recommendation of most commentariesSee, for example, Butler p. 222, Boling and Wright p. 490, Dallaire p. 1019, and Hess p 311. and also of the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project (HOTTP). These commentaries think we should not translate it as “Gath-rimmon,” because the town of Gath-rimmon was assigned to the clan of Dan in verse 21:24.

two cities: The phrase two cities refers to the towns that the half-clan of Manasseh gave to the Kohath families.

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

From the half of the clan of Manasseh that lived west of the Jordan River they received Taanach and the grazing lands around it, and Jibleam and the grazing lands around it. The total was two towns.

The part of the Manasseh clan that lived west of the Jordan River gave them Taanach town and its grasslands and Jibleam town and its grasslands. They received two towns from that clan.
