Yosua 11:23

11:23 Joshua conquered ¹  the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, ²  and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. ³  Then the land was free of war.

Mazmur 78:55

78:55 He drove the nations out from before them;

he assigned them their tribal allotments ⁴ 

and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down. ⁵ 

[11:23]  ¹ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ² tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

[11:23]  ³ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

[78:55]  ⁴ tn Heb “he caused to fall [to] them with a measuring line an inheritance.”

[78:55]  ⁵ tn Heb “and caused the tribes of Israel to settle down in their tents.”
