Ulangan 22:8

22:8 If you build a new house, you must construct a guard rail ¹  around your roof to avoid being culpable ²  in the event someone should fall from it.

Yosua 2:8

2:8 Now before the spies ³  went to sleep, Rahab ⁴  went up ⁵  to the roof.

[22:8]  ¹ tn Or “a parapet” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); KJV “a battlement”; NLT “a barrier.”

[22:8]  ² tn Heb “that you not place bloodshed in your house.”

[2:8]  ³ tn Heb “they.”

[2:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Rahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:8]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text adds, “to them.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.
