[6:20]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Heb “the people.”

[6:20]  ³ tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”

[6:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”

[6:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “fell in its place.”

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

[7:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “they turn [the] back before their enemies because they are set apart [to destruction by the Lord].”

[7:12]  ⁸ tn The second person pronoun is plural in Hebrew, indicating these words are addressed to the entire nation.

[7:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “what is set apart [to destruction by the Lord] from your midst.”

[10:24]  ¹⁰ 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]  ¹¹ tn Or “Draw near.”

[10:24]  ¹² tn Or “drew near.”

[11:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “burn with fire”; the words “with fire” are redundant in English and have not been included in the translation.

[22:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “returned and went from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession.”

[22:22]  ¹⁵ sn Israel’s God is here identified with three names: (1) אֵל (’el), “El” (or “God”); (2) אֱלֹהִים (’elohim), “Elohim” (or “God”), and (3) יְהוָה (yÿhvah), “Yahweh” (or “the Lord”). The name אֵל (’el, “El”) is often compounded with titles, for example, El Elyon, “God Most High.”

[22:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “he knows.”

[22:22]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “if in rebellion or if in unfaithfulness against the Lord.”

[22:22]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “do not save us.” The verb form is singular, being addressed to either collective Israel or the Lord himself. The LXX translates in the third person.
