In Chapter 2:

\v 10 We have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Sea of Reeds for you when you came out of Egypt. We also heard what you did to the two kings of the Amorites on other side of the Jordan—Sihon and Og—whom you completely destroyed.

In Chapter 18:

\v 7 The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance, beyond Jordan. This is the inheritance that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them."

ISSUE: Incompleteness and inconsistency in these two verses in the ULB; other usages of H5676 H3383 in Joshua rendered "beyond the Jordan" (e.g., 1:14, 9:1, 13:27) or "on the other side of the Jordan" (e.g., 7:7, 9:10) or "on the east side of the Jordan" (e.g., 12:1, 13:8).

SUGGESTIONS:

2:10 is ungrammatical without "the".

18:7 is not ungrammatical, but it may need "the" to make it refer to the Jordan River rather than the country.

I added "the" to both verses.

Neither of these changes affect TN.
