[2:3]  ¹ tn Heb “and the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying.”

[2:3]  ² tn Heb “bring out.”

[2:3]  ³ tn The idiom “come to” (בוֹא אֶל, bo’ ’el) probably has sexual connotations here, as it often does elsewhere when a man “comes to” a woman. If so, the phrase could be translated “your clients.” The instructions reflect Rahab’s perspective as to the identity of the men.

[2:3]  ⁴ tn The words “the ones who came to your house” (Heb “who came to your house”) may be a euphemistic scribal addition designed to blur the sexual connotation of the preceding words.

[4:9]  ⁵ tn Here “also” has been supplied in the translation to make it clear (as indicated by v. 20) that these are not the same stones the men took from the river bed.

[5:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “their sons he raised up in their place.”

[5:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “the day after, when they ate.” The present translation assumes this means the day after the Passover, though it is possible it refers to the day after they began eating the land’s produce.

[5:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel had no more manna.”

[9:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Now you are cursed and a servant will not be cut off from you, woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”

[10:2]  ¹⁵ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

[12:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “gave it for a possession.”

[13:8]  ¹⁷ tn The MT reads “with him,” which is problematic, since the reference would be to the other half of the tribe of Manasseh (not the half mentioned in v. 7).

[13:8]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “received their inheritance, which Moses had assigned to them beyond the Jordan.”

[13:9]  ¹⁹ tn The words “their territory started” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[15:5]  ²² tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

[15:5]  ²³ tn Heb “the border on the northern side was from the tongue of the sea, from the end of the Jordan.”
