[1:5]  ¹ tn Heb “A man will not stand before you.” The second person pronouns in this verse are singular, indicating Joshua is the addressee.

[3:4]  ² tn Heb “But there should be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits in measurement.”

[3:4]  sn The precise distance is uncertain, but the measurement designated אַמָּה (’ammah, “cubit”) was probably equivalent to approximately eighteen inches (one and one-half feet, or 45 cm) in length.

[3:4]  ³ tn Heb “do not approach it.”

[3:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “know.”

[5:11]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text adds, “on this same day.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.

[6:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “when Joshua spoke to the people.”

[8:35]  ⁷ tn Heb “There was not a word from all which Moses commanded that Joshua did not read aloud.”

[8:35]  ⁸ tn Heb “walked in their midst.”

[10:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “I have given them into your hand.” The verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action.

[10:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and not a man [or “one”] of them will stand before you.”

[10:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “When Joshua and the sons of Israel finished defeating them with a very great defeat until they were destroyed (now the survivors escaped to the fortified cities).” In the Hebrew text the initial temporal clause (“when Joshua…finished”) is subordinated to v. 21 (“the whole army returned”).

[10:33]  ¹² tn Heb “people.”

[11:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword until they destroyed them.”

[11:15]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua acted accordingly; he did not turn aside a thing from all which the Lord commanded Moses.”

[13:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the Shihor”; the word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied to clarify the meaning.

[13:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in front of.”

[13:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “it is reckoned to the Canaanites.”

[13:3]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the five lords of the Philistines, the Gazaite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gathite, and the Ekronite, and the Avvites.”

[13:16]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “their territory was from.”

[13:30]  ²⁰ tn The words “their territory started at” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied for clarification.

[13:30]  ²¹ sn The Hebrew name Havvoth Jair means “the tent villages of Jair.”

[15:48]  ²² tn The words “These cities were” have been supplied in the translation for English stylistic reasons.

[18:1]  ²³ tn Heb “the tent of assembly.”

[18:1]  sn On the tent of meeting see Exod 33:7-11.

[18:1]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and the land was subdued before them.”

[18:9]  ²⁵ tn Heb “went and passed through.”

[19:1]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and the second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon by their clans.”

[20:3]  ²⁷ tn Heb “so that the one who kills, taking life accidentally without knowledge, may flee there.”

[20:5]  ²⁸ tn Heb “for without knowledge he killed his neighbor, and he was not hating him prior to that.”

[23:7]  ²⁹ tn Heb “with.”

[23:7]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and in the name of their gods you must not invoke and you must not make solemn declarations.” The words “and you must not make solemn declarations” are omitted in the LXX and may represent a later scribal addition to elucidate the immediately preceding command. The Hiphil of שָׁבַע (shava’) without an object occurs only here and in Josh 6:26.

[23:7]  ³¹ tn Or “serve.”

[24:31]  ³² tn Or “served.”

[24:31]  ³³ tn Heb “all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who outlived him.”
