Yosua 24:12

24:12 I sent terror ⁵  ahead of you to drive out before you the two ⁶  Amorite kings. I gave you the victory; it was not by your swords or bows. ⁷ 

[14:8]  ¹ tn Heb “brothers.”

[14:8]  ² tn Heb “went up with.”

[14:8]  ³ tn Heb “made the heart[s] of the people melt.”

[14:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “I filled up after the Lord my God,” an idiomatic statement meaning that Caleb remained loyal to the Lord.

[24:12]  ⁵ tn Traditionally, “the hornet” (so KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV) but the precise meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain (cf. NEB “panic”).

[24:12]  ⁶ tn The LXX has “twelve,” apparently understanding this as a reference to Amorite kings west of the Jordan (see Josh 5:1, rather than the trans-Jordanian Amorite kings Sihon and Og (see Josh 2:10; 9:10).

[24:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “and it drove them out from before you, the two kings of the Amorites, not by your sword and not by your bow.” The words “I gave you the victory” are supplied for clarification.
