[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.”

[2:22]  ² tn Heb “they went and came.”

[2:22]  ³ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“them”) is added for clarification.

[2:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause.

[2:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “The pursuers looked in all the way and did not find [them].”

[6:20]  ⁶ tc Heb “and the people shouted and they blew the rams’ horns.” The initial statement (“and the people shouted”) seems premature, since the verse goes on to explain that the battle cry followed the blowing of the horns. The statement has probably been accidentally duplicated from what follows. It is omitted in the LXX.

[6:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”

[6:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”

[6:20]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “fell in its place.”

[6:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city.”

[6:25]  ¹² tn Heb “kept alive.”

[6:25]  ¹³ tn Heb the house of her father.”

[6:25]  ¹⁴ tn Or “among the Israelites”; Heb “in the midst of Israel.”

[7:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and cut off our name.”

[7:9]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “What will you do for your great name?”

[8:11]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “All the people of war who were with him went up and approached and came opposite the city.”

[8:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and the valley [was] between them and Ai.”

[8:14]  ²⁰ tn Heb “When the king of Ai saw, the men of Ai hurried and rose early and went out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people at the meeting place before the Arabah.”

[8:14]  ²¹ tn Or “know.”

[8:14]  ²² tn Heb “that (there was) an ambush for him behind the city.”

[11:8]  ²⁵ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

[13:6]  ²⁶ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

[13:6]  ²⁷ tn Heb “only you, assign it by lots to Israel as an inheritance as I commanded you.”

[17:18]  ²⁸ 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]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and its limits will be yours.”

[18:4]  ³⁰ tn Heb “I will send them so they may arise and walk about in the land and describe it in writing according to their inheritance and come to me.”

[20:9]  ³¹ tn The Hebrew text reads simply “the cities.” The words “for refuge” are supplied for clarification.

[20:9]  ³² tn Heb “and not die by the hand of.”

[20:9]  ³³ tn Heb “until he stands before the assembly.” The words “at least” are supplied for clarification.

[23:4]  ³⁴ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

[23:4]  ³⁵ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[23:4]  ³⁶ tn Heb “from the Jordan and all the nations which I cut off and the Great Sea [at] the place where the sun sets.” The relationship of the second half of the verse, which mentions nations already conquered, to the first half, which speaks of “remaining nations,” is difficult to understand.

[24:15]  ³⁷ tn Heb “if it is bad in your eyes.”

[24:15]  ³⁸ tn Or “to serve.”

[24:15]  ³⁹ tn Or “will serve.”
