Yosua 7:21

7:21 I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon, ¹  two hundred silver pieces, ²  and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I wanted them, so I took them. They are hidden in the ground right in the middle of my tent with the silver underneath.”

Yosua 22:16

22:16 “The entire community of the Lord says, ‘Why have you disobeyed the God of Israel by turning back today from following the Lord? You built an altar for yourselves and have rebelled today against the Lord. ³ 

Yosua 23:4

23:4 See, I have parceled out to your tribes these remaining nations, ⁴  from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea ⁵  in the west, including all the nations I defeated. ⁶ 

Yosua 24:27

24:27 Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a witness against you, for it has heard everything the Lord said to us. ⁷  It will be a witness against you if ⁸  you deny your God.”

[7:21]  ¹ tn Heb “Shinar,” a reference to Babylon (cf. Gen 10:10; 11:2; 14:1). Many modern translations retain the Hebrew name “Shinar” (cf. NEB, NRSV) but some use the more familiar “Babylon” (cf. NIV, NLT).

[7:21]  ² tn Heb “shekels.”

[22:16]  ³ tn Heb “What is this unfaithfulness with which you have been unfaithful against the God of Israel, turning today from after the Lord, when you built for yourselves an altar, rebelling today against the Lord?”

[23:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

[23:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[23:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “from the Jordan and all the nations which I cut off and the Great Sea [at] the place where the sun sets.” The relationship of the second half of the verse, which mentions nations already conquered, to the first half, which speaks of “remaining nations,” is difficult to understand.

[24:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “all the words of the Lord which he spoke with us.”

[24:27]  ⁸ tn Or “lest,” “so that you might not.”
