[9:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “they gathered together to fight against Joshua and Israel [with] one mouth.”

[17:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “Why have you given me as an inheritance one lot and one portion, though I am a great people until [the time] which, until now the Lord has blessed me?” The construction עַד אֲשֶׁר־עַד־כֹּה (’ad-’asher-’ad-koh, “until [the time] which, until now”) is extremely awkward. An emendation of the first עַד (’ad) to עַל (’al) yields a more likely reading: “for until now” (see HALOT 2:787).

[22:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “ten leaders with him, one leader, one leader for a paternal house, for all the tribes of Israel, and each a head of the house of their father, they belong to the clans of Israel.”

[23:10]  ⁹ tn Or “chases a thousand.”

[23:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “for the Lord your God, he [is] the one who fights for you.”

[23:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “as he said to you.”

[23:14]  ¹² tn Heb “go the way of all the earth.”

[23:14]  ¹³ tn Or “soul.”

[23:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “one word from all these words which the Lord your God spoke to you has not fallen, the whole has come to pass for you, one word from it has not fallen.”

[3:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the soles of the feet.”

[3:13]  ¹⁶ tn Or “Lord”; or “Master.”

[3:13]  ¹⁷ tn Or “rest in.”

[3:13]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the waters of the Jordan, the waters descending from above, will be cut off so that they will stand in one pile.”

[3:16]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the waters descending from above stood still.”

[3:16]  ²⁰ tn Heb “they stood in one pile very far away.”

[3:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “the [waters] descending toward the sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) were completely cut off.”

[3:16]  sn The Salt Sea is an ancient name for the Dead Sea.

[7:21]  ²³ tn Heb “Shinar,” a reference to Babylon (cf. Gen 10:10; 11:2; 14:1). Many modern translations retain the Hebrew name “Shinar” (cf. NEB, NRSV) but some use the more familiar “Babylon” (cf. NIV, NLT).

[7:21]  ²⁴ tn Heb “shekels.”

[17:17]  ²⁵ tn Heb “house.”

[22:20]  ²⁶ tn Heb “Is it not [true that] Achan son of Zerah was unfaithful with unfaithfulness concerning what was set apart [to the Lord] and against all the assembly of Israel there was anger?”

[22:20]  ²⁷ tn The second half of the verse reads literally, “and he [was] one man, he did not die for his sin.” There are at least two possible ways to explain this statement: (1) One might interpret the statement to mean that Achan was not the only person who died for his sin. In this case it could be translated, “and he was not the only one to die because of his sin.” (2) Another option, the one reflected in the translation, is to take the words וְהוּא אִישׁ אֶחָד (vÿhu’ ’ish ’ekhad, “and he [was] one man”) as a concessive clause and join it with what precedes. The remaining words (לֹא גָוַע בַּעֲוֹנוֹ, lo’ gava’ ba’avono) must then be taken as a rhetorical question (“Did he not die for his sin?”). Taking the last sentence as interrogative is consistent with the first part of the verse, a rhetorical question introduced with the interrogative particle. The present translation has converted these rhetorical questions into affirmative statements to bring out more clearly the points they are emphasizing. For further discussion, see T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 240.
