Yosua 13:13-14

13:13 But the Israelites did not conquer ¹  the Geshurites and Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this very day. 13:14 However, Moses ²  did not assign land as an inheritance ³  to the Levites; their inheritance ⁴  is the sacrificial offerings ⁵  made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed ⁶  them.

[13:13]  ¹ tn Or “dispossess.”

[13:14]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:14]  ³ tn Heb “did not assign an inheritance.”

[13:14]  ⁴ tn That is, “their source of food and life.”

[13:14]  ⁵ tn Or “offerings made by fire.”

[13:14]  ⁶ tn Or “promised” (Heb “spoke”).

[13:14]  sn For the background of this observation, see Deut 18:1-2.
