| 7"Now therefore, apportion this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh." | 7and divide it as an inheritance among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh." |
| 8With the other half-tribe, the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD gave to them; | 8The other half of Manasseh, the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the LORD, had assigned it to them. |

(He was the last of the Rephaites.) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land. |
| 13But the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites or the Maacathites; for Geshur and Maacath live among Israel until this day. | 13But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur and Maakah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day. |
| 14Only to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He spoke to him. | 14But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them. |

| 28This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages. | 28These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites, according to their clans. |
| 29Moses also gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families. | 29This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans: |

This was for the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh--for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans. |
| 32These are the territories which Moses apportioned for an inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho to the east. | 32This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab across the Jordan east of Jericho. |
| 33But to the tribe of Levi, Moses did not give an inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as He had promised to them. | 33But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he promised them. |
