Yosua 1:18

Yosua 2:13

Yosua 5:5

5:5 Now ⁹  all the men ¹⁰  who left were circumcised, but all the sons ¹¹  born on the journey through the desert after they left Egypt were uncircumcised.

Yosua 6:7

6:7 And he told ¹²  the army, ¹³  “Move ahead ¹⁴  and march around the city, with armed troops going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”

Yosua 6:14

6:14 They marched around the city one time on the second day, then returned to the camp. They did this six days in all.

Yosua 8:4

8:4 He told ¹⁵  them, “Look, set an ambush behind the city. Don’t go very far from the city; all of you be ready!

Yosua 8:21

8:21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that the city was going up in smoke, ¹⁶  they turned around and struck down the men of Ai.

Yosua 9:5

9:5 They had worn-out, patched sandals on their feet and dressed in worn-out clothes. All their bread ¹⁷  was dry and hard. ¹⁸ 

Yosua 9:15

9:15 Joshua made a peace treaty with them and agreed to let them live. The leaders of the community ¹⁹  sealed it with an oath. ²⁰ 

Yosua 10:23

10:23 They did as ordered; ²¹  they brought the five kings ²²  out of the cave to him – the kings of Jerusalem, ²³  Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.

12:9 the king of Jericho ²⁴  (one),

13:4 to the south; ²⁵  all the Canaanite territory, ²⁶  from Arah ²⁷  in the region of Sidon ²⁸  to Aphek, as far as Amorite territory;

Yosua 13:31

13:31 Half of Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities in the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were assigned to the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh, to half the descendants of Makir by their clans.

Yosua 14:14

14:14 So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day ²⁹  because he remained loyal to the Lord God of Israel.

Yosua 15:4

15:4 It then crossed to Azmon, extended to the Stream of Egypt, ³⁰  and ended at the sea. This was their ³¹  southern border.

Yosua 16:3

16:3 It then descended westward to Japhletite territory, as far as the territory of lower Beth Horon and Gezer, and ended at the sea.

Yosua 18:28

18:28 Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city ³²  (that is, Jerusalem), ³³  Gibeah, and Kiriath – a total of fourteen cities and their towns. ³⁴  This was the land assigned to the tribe of Benjamin ³⁵  by its clans.

Yosua 19:22

19:22 Their border touched Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh, and ended at the Jordan. They had sixteen cities and their towns.

Yosua 19:38

19:38 Yiron, ³⁶  Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh. In all they had ³⁷  nineteen cities and their towns.

Yosua 22:18

22:18 Now today you dare to turn back ³⁸  from following the Lord! You are rebelling today against the Lord; tomorrow he may break out in anger against ³⁹  the entire community of Israel.

[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).

[2:13]  ⁵ tn Or “our lives.”

[4:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “men equipped for battle.”

[4:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “for war.”

[4:13]  ⁸ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[5:5]  ⁹ tn Or “indeed.”

[5:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “people.”

[5:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “all the people.”

[6:7]  ¹² 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]  ¹³ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “pass by.”

[8:4]  ¹⁵ tn Or “commanded, ordered.”

[8:21]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and that the smoke of the city ascended.”

[9:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “all the bread of their provisions.”

[9:5]  ¹⁸ tn Or “moldy.”

[9:15]  ¹⁹ tn Or “assembly.”

[9:15]  ²⁰ 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]  ²¹ tn Heb “they did so.”

[10:23]  ²² tn Heb “these five kings.”

[12:9]  ²⁴ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[13:4]  ²⁵ tn Or “from Teman.” The phrase is especially problematic if taken with what follows, as the traditional verse division suggests. For further discussion see T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 146.

[13:4]  ²⁶ tn Heb “all the land of the Canaanites.”

[13:4]  ²⁷ tc The reading “Arah” assumes a slight emendation of the Hebrew vowel pointing. The MT reads, “and a cave,” or “and Mearah” (if one understands the word as a proper noun).

[13:4]  ²⁸ tn Heb “which belongs to the Sidonians.”

[13:4]  map For location see Map1 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.

[14:14]  ²⁹ tn Heb “Therefore Hebron belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance to this day.”

[15:4]  ³⁰ tn Traditionally “the Brook of Egypt,” although a number of recent translations have “the Wadi of Egypt” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[15:4]  ³¹ tn The translation follows the LXX at this point. The MT reads, “This will be your southern border.”

[18:28]  ³² tn The word “city” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[18:28]  ³⁴ tn The structure of this list presents problems. In v. 28 no conjunction appears before “Haeleph” or “Kiriath” in the Hebrew text. This suggests they should be compounded with the preceding names, yielding “Zelah Haeleph” and “Gibeah Kiriath” respectively. This results in a list of only twelve cities, however, while the summary statement (v. 28) gives the number fourteen. One should note, however, that the city lists in chap. 15 do not consistently use the conjunction before the name of each city. See also Josh 19:7, where no conjunction appears before “Rimmon,” but the summary assumes that Ain and Rimmon are distinct.

[18:28]  ³⁵ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin.”

[19:38]  ³⁶ sn Instead of Yiron some English translations read Iron.

[19:38]  ³⁷ tn The words “in all they had” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[22:18]  ³⁸ tn Heb “you are turning back.”

[22:18]  ³⁹ tn Or “he will be angry with.”
