[2:18]  ¹ tn Heb “Look! We are about to enter the land.”

[2:18]  ² tn Heb “the cord of this red thread.”

[2:18]  ³ tn Heb “and your father and your mother and your brothers and all the house of your father gather to yourself to the house.”

[3:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “the edge of the waters of the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

[3:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “stand in the Jordan.” Here the repetition of the word “Jordan” would be redundant according to contemporary English style, so it was not included in the translation.

[5:11]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text adds, “on this same day.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.

[7:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Zabdi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “by men.”

[8:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “and ran.”

[9:21]  ¹⁰ tc Heb “and the leaders said to them.” The LXX omits the words “and the leaders said to them.”

[9:21]  ¹¹ tn The vav (ו) consecutive construction in the Hebrew text suggests that the narrative resumes at this point. The LXX reads here, “and they will be,” understanding what follows to be a continuation of the leaders’ words rather than a comment by the narrator.

[9:21]  ¹² tn Heb “as the leaders said to them.”

[9:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “Now you are cursed and a servant will not be cut off from you, woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”

[10:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “listened to the voice of.”

[10:21]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua [at] Makkedah [in] peace.”

[10:21]  ¹⁶ tc Heb “No man.” The lamed (ל) prefixed to אִישׁ (’ish, “man”) is probably dittographic (note the immediately preceding יִשְׂרָאֵל [isra’el] which ends in lamed, ל); cf. the LXX.

[10:21]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “no man sharpened [or perhaps, “pointed”] his tongue against the sons of Israel.” Cf. NEB “not a man of the Israelites suffered so much as a scratch on his tongue,” which understands “sharpened” as “scratched” (referring to a minor wound). Most modern translations understand the Hebrew expression “sharpened his tongue” figuratively for opposition or threats against the Israelites.

[11:20]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “for from the Lord it was to harden their heart[s] to meet for the battle with Israel, in order to annihilate them, so that they would receive no mercy, in order annihilate them, as the Lord commanded Moses.”

[13:5]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and the land of the Gebalites.”

[13:5]  ²⁰ tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.” Most modern translations take the phrase “Lebo Hamath” to be a proper name, but often provide a note with the alternative, where “Hamath” is the proper name and לְבוֹא (lÿvo’) is taken to mean “entrance to.”
