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

[18:1]  ² tn Heb “and the land was subdued before them.”

[22:12]  ³ tn Heb “to go up against them for battle.”

[2:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “Look! We are about to enter the land.”

[2:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “the cord of this red thread.”

[2:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “and your father and your mother and your brothers and all the house of your father gather to yourself to the house.”

[8:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “the people.”

[8:10]  ⁹ tn Or “elders.”

[8:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “went up.”

[8:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “them” (referring to “the people” in the previous clause, which requires a plural pronoun). Since the translation used “army” in the previous clause, a singular pronoun (“it”) is required in English.

[10:24]  ¹² tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style.

[8:1]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Take with you all the people of war and arise, go up against Ai!”

[8:1]  ²⁰ tn Heb “I have given into our hand.” The verbal form, a perfect, is probably best understood as a perfect of certitude, indicating the certainty of the action.

[22:11]  ²¹ tn Heb “the sons of Israel heard, saying.”

[22:11]  ²² tn Heb “toward the front of.”

[3:16]  ²³ tn Heb “the waters descending from above stood still.”

[3:16]  ²⁴ tn Heb “they stood in one pile very far away.”

[3:16]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the [waters] descending toward the sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) were completely cut off.”
