Yosua 2:16

2:16 She told them, “Head ¹  to the hill country, so the ones chasing you don’t find you. ²  Hide from them there for three days, long enough for those chasing you ³  to return. Then you can be on your way.”

Yosua 17:18

17:18 The whole hill country ⁴  will be yours; though it is a forest, you can clear it and it will be entirely yours. ⁵  You can conquer the Canaanites, though they have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels and are strong.”

[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.

[17:18]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15.

[17:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “and its limits will be yours.”
