6:17 The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the Lord, ⁵  except for Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house, because she hid the spies ⁶  we sent.

Yosua 22:28

[2:16]  ¹ tn Heb “Go.”

[2:16]  ² tn Heb “so that the pursuers might not meet you.”

[2:16]  ³ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“you”) is not in the Hebrew text but is implied.

[5:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “All the people who went out from Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the desert in the way when they went out from Egypt.”

[6:17]  ⁵ tn Or “dedicated to the Lord.”

[6:17]  sn To make the city set apart for the Lord would involve annihilating all the people and animals and placing its riches in the Lord’s treasury (vv. 19, 21, 24).

[6:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “messengers.”

[10:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “Is it not written down in the Scroll of the Upright One.” Many modern translations render, “the Scroll [or Book] of Jashar,” leaving the Hebrew name “Jashar” (which means “Upright One”) untranslated.

[10:13]  sn The Scroll of the Upright One was apparently an ancient Israelite collection of songs and prayers (see also 2 Sam 1:18).

[10:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “and did not hurry to set [for] about a full day.”

[12:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

[12:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

[17:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Manasseh) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:10]  ¹² tn Heb “they”; the referent (their territory) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “Why have you given me as an inheritance one lot and one portion, though I am a great people until [the time] which, until now the Lord has blessed me?” The construction עַד אֲשֶׁר־עַד־כֹּה (’ad-’asher-’ad-koh, “until [the time] which, until now”) is extremely awkward. An emendation of the first עַד (’ad) to עַל (’al) yields a more likely reading: “for until now” (see HALOT 2:787).

[22:28]  ¹⁴ tn The words “such a thing” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[22:28]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “fathers.”

[22:28]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “but it is a witness between us and you.”
