[1:13]  ¹ tn Heb “remember the word which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you.”

[1:13]  sn This command can be found in Deut 3:18-20. In vv. 13-15 Joshua paraphrases the command, as the third person reference to Moses in v. 14 indicates.

[1:13]  ² tn Heb “is providing rest for you and is giving to you this land.”

[1:13]  sn “This land” refers to the trans-Jordanian lands allotted to these tribes.

[1:18]  ³ tn Heb “any man who rebels against your mouth and does not listen to your words, to all which you command us, will be put to death.”

[1:18]  ⁴ tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 17 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).

[5:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “rolled away.”

[5:9]  ⁶ sn One might take the disgrace of Egypt as a reference to their uncircumcised condition (see Gen 34:14), but the generation that left Egypt was circumcised (see v. 5). It more likely refers to the disgrace they experienced in Egyptian slavery. When this new generation reached the promised land and renewed their covenantal commitment to the Lord by submitting to the rite of circumcision, the Lord’s deliverance of his people from slavery, which had begun with the plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, reached its climax. See T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 59.

[5:9]  ⁷ sn The name Gilgal sounds like the Hebrew verb “roll away” (גַּלַל, galal).

[6:7]  ⁸ tn An alternative reading is “and they said.” In this case the subject is indefinite and the verb should be translated as passive, “[the army] was told.”

[6:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “pass by.”

[8:4]  ¹¹ tn Or “commanded, ordered.”

[9:15]  ¹² tn Or “assembly.”

[9:15]  ¹³ tn Heb “Joshua made peace with them and made a treaty with them to let them live, and the leaders of the community swore an oath to them.”

[10:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “they did so.”

[10:23]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “these five kings.”

[11:11]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and they struck down all life which was in it with the edge of the sword, annihilating.”

[11:11]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “burned with fire”; the words “with fire” are redundant in English and have not been included in the translation.

[14:14]  ²⁰ tn Heb “Therefore Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance to this day.”

[15:4]  ²¹ tn Traditionally “the Brook of Egypt,” although a number of recent translations have “the Wadi of Egypt” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[15:4]  ²² tn The translation follows the LXX at this point. The MT reads, “This will be your southern border.”

[22:18]  ²³ tn Heb “you are turning back.”

[22:18]  ²⁴ tn Or “he will be angry with.”
