18:8 When the men started out, Joshua told those going to map out the land, “Go, walk through the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will draw lots for you before the Lord here in Shiloh.”

[1:15]  ¹ tn Heb “Then you may return to the land of your possession and possess it, that which Moses, the Lord’s servant, gave to you beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.”

[2:19]  ² tn Heb “Anyone who goes out from the doors of your house to the outside, his blood is on his head. We are innocent.”

[2:19]  ³ tn Heb “But anyone who is with you in the house, his blood is on our head if a hand should be on him.”

[6:17]  ⁴ tn Or “dedicated to the Lord.”

[6:17]  sn To make the city set apart for the Lord would involve annihilating all the people and animals and placing its riches in the Lord’s treasury (vv. 19, 21, 24).

[6:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “messengers.”

[7:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “what is set apart [to destruction by the Lord] [is] in your midst.”

[7:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “remove what is set apart [i.e., to destruction by the Lord] from your midst.”

[8:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they saw, and look.” The Hebrew term הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) draws attention to the scene and invites the audience to view the events from the perspective of the men of Ai.

[8:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “and there was not in them hands to flee here or there.” The Hebrew term יָדַיִם (yadayim, “hands”) is idiomatic for “strength.”

[9:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and Joshua made them in that day woodcutters and water carriers for the community, and for the altar of the Lord to this day at the place which he chooses.”

[13:6]  ¹¹ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

[13:6]  ¹² tn Heb “only you, assign it by lots to Israel as an inheritance as I commanded you.”

[17:18]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15.

[17:18]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and its limits will be yours.”
