SIL Translator’s Notes on Joshua 13:16

13:16a

The Hebrew word that the Berean Standard Bible that other versions translate as “and” or “so” leaves untranslated introduces the details about the land that was given to Reuben. Use whatever connecting word or particle is appropriate in your language.

The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley: The Hebrew words of this clause are almost identical to the words in 13:9a, and you should translate it in the same way.

13:16b

along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau beyond Medeba: The Hebrew words of this clause are almost identical to the words in 13:9b-c, and you should translate it in the same way.
