[10:24]  ¹ tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style.

[10:24]  ² tn Or “Draw near.”

[10:24]  ³ tn Or “drew near.”

[10:2]  ⁴ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

[22:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “house.”

[2:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “clan” or “extended family.”

[2:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “from which you will not remove your neck.” The words “It will be like a yoke” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[2:3]  ⁸ tn Or “you will not.”
