Yosua 8:33

8:33 All the people, ¹  rulers, ²  leaders, and judges were standing on either side of the ark, in front of the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Both resident foreigners and native Israelites were there. ³  Half the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the Lord’s servant had previously instructed to them to do for the formal blessing ceremony. ⁴ 

Yosua 12:8

12:8 including the hill country, the lowlands, ⁵  the Arabah, the slopes, the wilderness, and the Negev – the land of ⁶  the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites:

[8:33]  ¹ tn Heb “All Israel.”

[8:33]  ² tn Or “elders.”

[8:33]  ³ tn Heb “like the resident alien, like the citizen.” The language is idiomatic, meaning that both groups were treated the same, at least in this instance.

[8:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “as Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded to bless the people, Israel, formerly.”

[8:33]  sn Moses’ earlier instructions are found in Deut 11:29.

[12:8]  ⁵ tn Or “the foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[12:8]  ⁶ tn The words “the land of” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
