The Greek reads :

(29) "And upon tlie borders of the children of Manasseh, 

 Bethshean and its dependencies, Taanach and its dependencies, 

 Megiddo and its dependencies, Dor and its dependencies. In these 

 dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel." 



Comments on the Greek: For ®a\fxr], A reads ©aamx- A has 

 MayeSSw. For vlov A* reads viot. For BaAaS A reads BaAaaS, which 

 evidently corresponds to BaAaa/u, of Judg. 1:27 (A), and like it is a 

 corrupt rendering of D_J/'?D^ The initial iota of 'U/3Xadfji was per- 

 hajjs dropped through the influence of the final iota of Kat preced- 

 ing the name. (But cp. DJ7'?D of 1 Chron. 0:55). The form 

 BaAaaS (with 8) may be due to the common confusion in Greek 

 uncial writing of A and M. The fact that the name occurs in some 

 of the Greek texts', though lacking in the Hebrew, is probably to 

 be accounted for by the tendency of the Greek translators (or 

 editors) to use their own judgment in revising and interpreting the 

 text before them (Cp. Awp in the Greek of Judg. 1 : 31, and ^ ianv 

 "^KvOwv TToAts of Judg. 1:27). Here Jibleam seems to have been 

 introduced from the parallel passages in Josh. 17:11 and Judg. 

 1 : 27, more probably the latter^. 



As has been suggested above', the peculiar phrase ^5.3(1 il'd^b^ 

 in Josh. 17:11 was in all probabilit}^ originally a marginal gloss, 

 n5.3 nnC*'?t!*, that later found its way into the text, meant to 

 point out that f/te tldrd toxon in the list {r\r\^'l\l^ — " third of it") 

 was to be read with prefixed HflJ) ; i. e., "INl DCJ • This was 

 evidently a variant reading, whether the original and correct one 



' Lagarde's Edition omits Balad but follows the order of B. Instead of 

 'Siavaaai/, it reads Uuvctjq. Hohnes-Parsons omits Balaad in the text (based 

 on KE<1>) but records it as appearing in several texts. 



' The order of towns (except Dor) follows that of Judg. 1 : ;27, and the form 

 Ba/.aa(5 is, as explained above, equivalent to Bn/.aafi of that verse.
