Joshua 19

Verse MT 19:9 Different

Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth(Rabbinic Priority)

MT 19:9

The inheritance of the sons of Simeon came from the portion of the sons of Judah, because the portion of the sons of Judah was too large for them. So the sons of Simeon inherited within their inheritance.

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth(Saints Priority)

LXX 19:9

The inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon came from Judah’s lot, because the portion of the sons of Judah was larger than theirs. So the sons of Simeon inherited amid their lot.

Classification & Notes

Different

Text: Hebrew says Judah’s portion exceeded its needs; Greek compares its size with theirs. The pronoun’s referent is not expanded to remove the ambiguity.

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth(Saints Priority)

LXX 19:15

with Katanath, Nabaal, Symoon, Jericho, and Bethman.

Classification & Notes

Divergent

Text: Greek lacks the twelve-city total and village formula. Jericho and Bethman differ notably from Idalah and Bethlehem; this Hebrew Bethlehem belongs to Zebulun’s list, not the Judean district of LXX 15:59a.

LXX 19:27

It shall turn from the sunrise to Bethegeneth and join Zebulun, and from Gai and Phtaiel on the north the boundary shall enter Saphthaibaithme and Inael and pass to Choba Masomel,

Classification & Notes

LXX 19:47a

The sons of Dan did not drive out the Amorites who were pressing them in the hill country. The Amorites did not allow them to descend into the valley and pressed away from them the boundary of their allotted portion.

Classification & Notes

Divergent

Text: This Greek paragraph explains Dan’s territorial pressure; compare the related account in Judges 1:34. It is printed before the migration comparison and retains its actual Greek reference.

Verse MT 19:47 Disparate

Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth(Rabbinic Priority)

MT 19:47

The territory of the sons of Dan slipped away from them. The sons of Dan went up, fought against Leshem, captured it, struck it with the edge of the sword, possessed it, and lived in it. They called Leshem Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth(Saints Priority)

LXX 19:48

The sons of Judah went and fought against Lachish, captured it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and inhabited it. They called its name Lasendak.

Classification & Notes

Disparate

Text: The aligned conquest account names Dan, Leshem, and the renaming Dan in Hebrew, but Judah, Lachish, and Lasendak in Greek. These differences change the actors, place, and resulting name. Hebrew’s opening territorial-loss clause is difficult and rendered in light of the migration context.

Verse MT 19:48 Same

MT 19:48

This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their clans—these cities and their villages.
