Joshua 2:22

2:22 They went ¹  to the hill country and stayed there for three days, long enough for those chasing them ²  to return. Their pursuers ³  looked all along the way but did not find them. ⁴ 

Joshua 13:6

13:6 I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, ⁵  all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you.” ⁶ 

[2:22]  ¹ tn Heb “they went and came.”

[2:22]  ² tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“them”) is added for clarification.

[2:22]  ³ tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause.

[2:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “The pursuers looked in all the way and did not find [them].”

[13:6]  ⁵ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

[13:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “only you, assign it by lots to Israel as an inheritance as I commanded you.”
