Paragraph 13:24-28

13:24a

The Hebrew word that the Berean Standard Bible leaves untranslated is often translated as “and.” It indicates a transition to the next topic. Many English versions do not translate this connecting word.

Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Gad: This indicates that Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad for them to live on and pass on to their descendants.

to the clans of the tribe of Gad: The phrase the clans of the tribe of Gad indicates the people who had Gad as their ancestor.

to the clans: The phrase to the clans indicates that each clan or group of families in the tribe of Gad received their own portion of the land. See how you translated the words “clan” and “family” in Joshua 7:14.
