Nehemia 9:22

9:22 “You gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you allocated them to every corner of the land. ²  They inherited the land of King Sihon of Heshbon ³  and the land of King Og of Bashan.

[2:7]  ¹ tn Heb “across the river,” here and often elsewhere in the Book of Nehemiah.

[9:22]  ² tn The words “of the land” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[9:22]  ³ tc Most Hebrew MSS read “the land of Sihon and the land of the king of Heshbon.” The present translation (along with NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, CEV, NLT) follows the reading of one Hebrew MS, the LXX, and the Vulgate.
