Yosua 2:16

2:16 She told them, “Head ¹  to the hill country, so the ones chasing you don’t find you. ²  Hide from them there for three days, long enough for those chasing you ³  to return. Then you can be on your way.”

Yosua 10:10

10:10 The Lord routed ⁴  them before Israel. Israel ⁵  thoroughly defeated them ⁶  at Gibeon. They chased them up the road to the pass ⁷  of Beth Horon and struck them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.

Yosua 23:4

23:4 See, I have parceled out to your tribes these remaining nations, ⁸  from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea ⁹  in the west, including all the nations I defeated. ¹⁰ 

[2:16]  ¹ tn Heb “Go.”

[2:16]  ² tn Heb “so that the pursuers might not meet you.”

[2:16]  ³ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“you”) is not in the Hebrew text but is implied.

[10:10]  ⁴ tn Or “caused to panic.”

[10:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Israel (mentioned at the end of the previous sentence in the verse; cf. NIV, NRSV), but it is also possible that the Lord should be understood as the referent (cf. NASB “and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon”), or even Joshua (cf. NEB “and Joshua defeated them utterly in Gibeon”).

[10:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “struck them down with a great striking down.”

[10:10]  ⁷ tn Or “ascent.”

[23:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

[23:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[23:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “from the Jordan and all the nations which I cut off and the Great Sea [at] the place where the sun sets.” The relationship of the second half of the verse, which mentions nations already conquered, to the first half, which speaks of “remaining nations,” is difficult to understand.
