Yosua 23:7

[4:9]  ¹ tn Here “also” has been supplied in the translation to make it clear (as indicated by v. 20) that these are not the same stones the men took from the river bed.

[9:12]  ² tn Heb “in the day we went out to come to you.”

[9:12]  ³ tn Or “moldy.”

[23:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “with.”

[23:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “and in the name of their gods you must not invoke and you must not make solemn declarations.” The words “and you must not make solemn declarations” are omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition to elucidate the immediately preceding command. The Hiphil of שָׁבַע (shava’) without an object occurs only here and in Josh 6:26.

[23:7]  ⁶ tn Or “serve.”
