|
|
8. The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the other half of the tribe of Manasseh had already received all their land. The Lord's servant, Moses, gave them the land east of the Jordan River.
|
8. With H5973 whom the Reubenites H7206 and the Gadites H1425 have received H3947 their inheritance H5159 , which H834 Moses H4872 gave H5414 them, beyond H5676 Jordan H3383 eastward H4217 , even as H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 gave H5414 them;

|
|
14. The tribe of Levi is the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, the Levites were given all the animals offered by fire to the Lord, the God of Israel. That is what the Lord promised them.
|
14. Only H7535 unto the tribe H7626 of Levi H3878 he gave H5414 none H3808 inheritance H5159 ; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire H801 H3068 H430 H3478 are their inheritance H5159 , as H834 he said H1696 unto them.
