[2:15]  ¹ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Rahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:15]  ² tc The phrase “by a rope” is omitted in the LXX. It may be a later clarifying addition. If original, the omission in the LXX is likely due to an error of homoioarcton. A scribe’s or translator’s eye could have jumped from the initial ב (bet) in the phrase בַּחֶבֶל (bakhevel, “with a rope”) to the initial ב on the immediately following בְּעַד (bÿ’ad, “through”) and accidentally omitted the intervening letters.

[2:15]  ³ tn Heb “For her house.”

[2:15]  ⁴ tc These explanatory statements are omitted in the LXX and probably represent a later scribal addition.

[2:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “According to your words, so it [will be].”

[2:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “she sent them away and they went.”

[8:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “from the ambush.”

[8:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the people.”

[8:10]  ¹² tn Heb “went up.”

[8:10]  ¹³ tn Heb “them” (referring to “the people” in the previous clause, which requires a plural pronoun). Since the translation used “army” in the previous clause, a singular pronoun (“it”) is required in English.

[9:15]  ¹⁴ tn Or “assembly.”

[9:15]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Joshua made peace with them and made a treaty with them to let them live, and the leaders of the community swore an oath to them.”
