Yosua 12:2

12:2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived ¹  in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) – including the city in the middle of the valley ²  and half of Gilead – all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory.

Yosua 17:12

17:12 But the men ³  of Manasseh were unable to conquer these cities; the Canaanites managed ⁴  to remain in those areas.

[12:2]  ¹ tn Or perhaps, “reigned.”

[12:2]  ² tc The MT reads here, “and the middle of the valley,” but the reading “the city in the middle of valley” can be reconstructed on the basis of Josh 13:9, 16.

[17:12]  ³ tn Heb “sons”; “men” has been used in the translation because the context involves the conquest of cities; therefore, warriors (hence males) would be in view here.

[17:12]  ⁴ tn Or “were determined.”
