[11:8]  ² tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

[11:23]  ³ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

[11:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

[20:9]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text reads simply “the cities.” The words “for refuge” are supplied for clarification.

[20:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “and not die by the hand of.”

[20:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “until he stands before the assembly.” The words “at least” are supplied for clarification.
