[3:8]  ¹ tn Heb “the edge of the waters of the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

[3:8]  ² tn Heb “stand in the Jordan.” Here the repetition of the word “Jordan” would be redundant according to contemporary English style, so it was not included in the translation.

[3:15]  ³ tn Heb “dipped into the edge.”

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest.”

[3:15]  sn The lengthy description of the priests’ arrival at the Jordan and the parenthetical reminder that the Jordan was at flood stage delay the climax of the story and add to its dramatic buildup.

[4:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “in order that.”

[4:24]  ⁶ tn Or “peoples.”

[4:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “know the hand of the Lord that it is strong.”

[4:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “fear.”

[5:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “nation.”

[6:24]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “with fire.”

[6:24]  ¹² tn Heb “the treasury of the house of the Lord.” Technically the Lord did not have a “house” yet, so perhaps this refers to the tabernacle using later terminology.

[9:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “At the end of three days, after they made the treaty with them, they heard that they were neighbors to them and in their midst they were living.”

[10:32]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “he”; the implied subject may be Israel, or Joshua (as the commanding general of the army).

[11:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “They and all their camps with them came out, a people as numerous as the sand which is on the edge of the sea in multitude, and [with] horses and chariots very numerous.”

[11:16]  ¹⁷ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[15:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “The lot was to the tribe of the sons of Judah by their clans to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin toward the south, southward.”

[15:47]  ¹⁹ tn See the note on this place name in 15:4.

[15:47]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[17:15]  ²¹ tn Heb “If you are a great people.”

[18:17]  ²² tn Or “ascent.”

[19:1]  ²³ tn Heb “and the second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon by their clans.”

[19:49]  ²⁴ tn Heb “an inheritance in their midst.”

[22:14]  ²⁵ tn Heb “ten leaders with him, one leader, one leader for a paternal house, for all the tribes of Israel, and each a head of the house of their father, they belong to the clans of Israel.”

[23:7]  ²⁶ tn Heb “with.”

[23:7]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and in the name of their gods you must not invoke and you must not make solemn declarations.” The words “and you must not make solemn declarations” are omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition to elucidate the immediately preceding command. The Hiphil of שָׁבַע (shava’) without an object occurs only here and in Josh 6:26.

[23:7]  ²⁸ tn Or “serve.”

[23:12]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and hug.”
