7:14 In the morning you must approach in tribal order. ⁷  The tribe the Lord selects ⁸  must approach by clans.

Yosua 19:47

19:47 (The Danites failed to conquer their territory, ⁴³  so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it ⁴⁴  Dan after their ancestor. ⁴⁵ )

[6:20]  ¹ tc Heb “and the people shouted and they blew the rams’ horns.” The initial statement (“and the people shouted”) seems premature, since the verse goes on to explain that the battle cry followed the blowing of the horns. The statement has probably been accidentally duplicated from what follows. It is omitted in the LXX.

[6:20]  ² tn Heb “the people.”

[6:20]  ³ tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”

[6:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”

[6:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “fell in its place.”

[7:17]  ¹⁴ tn See the note on “Zabdi” in 1 Chr 7:1.

[7:17]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and he selected Zabdi.” The Lord is the apparent subject. The LXX supports reading a passive (Niphal) form here, as does the immediate context.

[7:18]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Zabdi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:18]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “by men.”

[8:19]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and ran.”

[8:21]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and that the smoke of the city ascended.”
