Yosua 22:22

[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.

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and it will be at the sounding of the horn, the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn.” The text of Josh 6:5 seems to be unduly repetitive, so for the sake of English style and readability, it is best to streamline the text here. The reading in the Hebrew looks like a conflation of variant readings, with the second (“when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn”) being an interpolation that assimilates the text to verse 20 (“when the army heard the sound of the horn”). Note that the words “when you hear the sound of the ram's horn” do not appear in the LXX of verse 5.

[6:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “all the people will shout with a loud shout.”

[6:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “fall in its place.”

[6:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the people will go up, each man straight ahead.”

[7:24]  ⁸ tn Or “Trouble” The name is “Achor” in Hebrew, which means “disaster” or “trouble” (also in v. 26).

[8:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “residents.”

[8:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in the field, in the desert in which they chased them.”

[8:24]  ¹¹ tc Heb “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed.” The LXX omits the words, “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword.” They may represent a later scribal addition.

[10:27]  ¹² sn For the legal background of the removal of the corpses before sundown, see Deut 21:22-23.

[10:27]  ¹³ tn Heb “to this very day.” The words “They remain” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[13:6]  ¹⁴ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

[13:6]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “only you, assign it by lots to Israel as an inheritance as I commanded you.”

[17:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and it belonged to the sons of Manasseh who remained.”

[22:7]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “to their tents.”

[22:7]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “blessed.”

[22:22]  ¹⁹ 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]  ²⁰ tn Heb “he knows.”

[22:22]  ²¹ tn Heb “if in rebellion or if in unfaithfulness against the Lord.”

[22:22]  ²² 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.
