Yosua 22:29

22:29 Far be it from us to rebel against the Lord by turning back today from following after the Lord by building an altar for burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace ²⁰  aside from the altar of the Lord our God located in front of his dwelling place!” ²¹ 

Yosua 24:17

[6:5]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Heb “all the people will shout with a loud shout.”

[6:5]  ³ tn Heb “fall in its place.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the people will go up, each man straight ahead.”

[6:20]  ⁵ tc Heb “and the people shouted and they blew the rams’ horns.” The initial statement (“and the people shouted”) seems premature, since the verse goes on to explain that the battle cry followed the blowing of the horns. The statement has probably been accidentally duplicated from what follows. It is omitted in the LXX.

[6:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”

[6:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”

[6:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “fell in its place.”

[6:20]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city.”

[8:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “When the king of Ai saw, the men of Ai hurried and rose early and went out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people at the meeting place before the Arabah.”

[8:14]  ¹² tn Or “know.”

[8:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “that (there was) an ambush for him behind the city.”

[14:3]  ¹⁴ tn Or “assigned an inheritance.”

[14:3]  ¹⁵ tn Or “no inheritance.”

[14:3]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew text adds, “in their midst.”

[18:7]  ¹⁷ tn Or “the priesthood of the Lord.”

[18:7]  ¹⁸ tn Or “inheritance.”

[22:10]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and they went to Geliloth of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar near the Jordan, an altar great with respect to appearance.”

[22:29]  ²⁰ tn Or “peace offerings.”

[22:29]  ²¹ sn The Lord’s dwelling place here refers to the tabernacle.

[24:17]  ²² tn Heb “of the house of slavery.”

[24:17]  ²³ tn Heb “for the Lord our God, he is the one who brought up us and our fathers from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.”

[24:17]  ²⁴ tn Or “great signs.”
