Yosua 2:22-24

2:22 They went ³  to the hill country and stayed there for three days, long enough for those chasing them ⁴  to return. Their pursuers ⁵  looked all along the way but did not find them. ⁶  2:23 Then the two men returned – they came down from the hills, crossed the river, ⁷  came to Joshua son of Nun, and reported to him all they had discovered. 2:24 They told Joshua, “Surely the Lord is handing over all the land to us! ⁸  All who live in the land are cringing before us!” ⁹ 

[2:6]  ¹ tn Heb “arranged in rows by her.”

[2:17]  ² tn Heb “We are free from this oath of yours which you made us swear.” The words “unless the following conditions are met” are not in the Hebrew text, but are added for clarification.

[2:22]  ³ tn Heb “they went and came.”

[2:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“them”) is added for clarification.

[2:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause.

[2:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “The pursuers looked in all the way and did not find [them].”

[2:23]  ⁷ tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, are added for clarification.

[2:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.

[2:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “are melting away because of us.”
