Deep Study — Deuteronomy 30:5
Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — God's Promise of Restorationgenerated
Deuteronomy 30:5 is part of a larger passage where Moses reassures the Israelites that even if they stray, God will gather them back and restore them to their land. This promise emphasizes God's faithfulness and the importance of the land as part of their heritage. The surrounding verses highlight God's love and the call to obedience, which are central themes throughout Deuteronomy.
Cross References
The Key Word — יָרְשׁ֥וּ, ya.re.Shugenerated
The verb יָרַשׁ (yarash) means to take possession or inherit. It conveys the act of seizing control of land or property, often after displacing others. This word is significant in the context of the Israelites entering the Promised Land, as it reflects their right to claim the territory that God has promised them.
In this verse, it is in the perfect tense, indicating a completed action. The use of the third person plural form indicates that it refers to the collective action of the Israelites as they inherit the land of their ancestors.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb governing the verse is וֶהֱבִֽיאֲךָ֞, he will bring you, which sets the stage for the actions that follow. The sentence structure is complex, with multiple clauses detailing God's promises.
The first clause introduces the subject, יְהוָ֣ה (Yahweh), followed by a series of actions that God will take regarding the Israelites and the land. The order emphasizes the certainty and completeness of God's promises.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יָרְשׁ֥וּ as ἐκληρονόμησαν, indicating a focus on the act of inheritance. This choice aligns with the theme of receiving a promised heritage, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant.
The use of יְהוָ֣ה is rendered as κύριος, which is a common translation for the divine name in the Greek Old Testament, maintaining the sacredness of God's identity.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Samaritan Pentateuch, which agrees word for word. The Septuagint also matches closely, though its word order differs slightly. The Dead Sea Scrolls show one word on the leather, with the rest supplied by an editor, indicating some damage but no significant variation in meaning.
וֶהֱבִֽיאֲךָ֞ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ אֶל־ הָאָ֛רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ יָרְשׁ֥וּ אֲבֹתֶ֖יךָ וִֽירִשְׁתָּ֑הּ וְהֵיטִֽבְךָ֥ וְהִרְבְּךָ֖ מֵאֲבֹתֶֽיךָ׃
12 of the 12 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Agrees with the Masoretic Text here, word for word.

1 word on the leather — 11 supplied entire by an editor.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
