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.

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of holiness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the holy land]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

וְ⁠נָחַ֨ל & אֶת־יְהוּדָה֙ חֶלְק֔⁠וֹ

and,he_will_inherit & DOM Yehuda portion_of,his

The word translated as will inherit means to take formal, permanent possession of something as one’s rightful property. It does not imply that a previous owner has died. If the word you use for will inherit would give your readers that wrong impression, you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [will claim Judah as his possession]
