[4:11]  ¹ tn Heb “in the presence of the people.”

[6:1]  ² map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[6:1]  ³ tn Heb “was shutting and shut up.” HALOT 2:743 paraphrases, “blocking [any way of access] and blocked [against any who would leave].”

[6:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “there was no one going out and there was no one coming in.”

[6:7]  ⁵ tn An alternative reading is “and they said.” In this case the subject is indefinite and the verb should be translated as passive, “[the army] was told.”

[6:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “pass by.”

[6:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “Joshua rose early in the morning and the priests picked up the ark of the Lord.”

[8:10]  ⁹ tn Or “summoned, mustered.”

[8:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the people.”

[8:10]  ¹¹ tn Or “elders.”

[8:10]  ¹² tn Heb “went up.”

[8:10]  ¹³ 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.

[8:34]  ¹⁴ tn Or “afterward.”

[9:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “all the bread of their provisions.”

[9:5]  ¹⁶ tn Or “moldy.”

[9:14]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “took.” This probably means they tasted some of the food to make sure it was stale.

[9:14]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “but they did not ask the mouth of the Lord.” This refers to seeking the Lord’s will and guidance through an oracle.

[10:41]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and Joshua struck them down, from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even to Gibeon.”

[12:4]  ²⁰ tn Heb “from the remnant of the Rephaites.”

[12:4]  sn The Rephaites were apparently an extremely tall ethnic group. See Deut 2:10-11, 20; 3:11.

[12:4]  ²¹ tn Or perhaps “who reigned.”

[13:4]  ²² tn Or “from Teman.” The phrase is especially problematic if taken with what follows, as the traditional verse division suggests. For further discussion see T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 146.

[13:4]  ²³ tn Heb “all the land of the Canaanites.”

[13:4]  ²⁴ tc The reading “Arah” assumes a slight emendation of the Hebrew vowel pointing. The MT reads, “and a cave,” or “and Mearah” (if one understands the word as a proper noun).

[13:4]  ²⁵ tn Heb “which belongs to the Sidonians.”

[13:4]  map For location see Map1 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.

[15:17]  ²⁶ tn “Caleb’s brother” may refer either to Othniel or to Kenaz. If Kenaz was the brother of Caleb, Othniel is Caleb’s nephew.

[15:17]  ²⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Caleb) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
