Yosua 7:1
Konteks7:1 But the Israelites disobeyed the command about the city’s riches. 1 Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, 2 son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, stole some of the riches. 3 The Lord was furious with the Israelites. 4
Yosua 10:11
Konteks10:11 As they fled from Israel on the slope leading down from 5 Beth Horon, the Lord threw down on them large hailstones from the sky, 6 all the way to Azekah. They died – in fact, more died from the hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword.
Yosua 15:18
Konteks15:18 One time Acsah 7 came and charmed her father 8 so that she could ask him for some land. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
Yosua 17:9
Konteks17:9 The border then descended southward to the Valley of Kanah. Ephraim was assigned cities there among the cities of Manasseh, 9 but the border of Manasseh was north of the valley and ended at the sea.
Yosua 17:11
Konteks17:11 Within Issachar’s and Asher’s territory Manasseh was assigned Beth Shean, Ibleam, the residents of Dor, En Dor, the residents of Taanach, the residents of Megiddo, 10 the three of Napheth, 11 and the towns surrounding all these cities. 12
Yosua 17:16
Konteks17:16 The descendants of Joseph said, “The whole hill country 13 is inadequate for us, and the Canaanites living down in the valley in Beth Shean and its surrounding towns and in the Valley of Jezreel have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels.” 14
Yosua 17:18
Konteks17:18 The whole hill country 15 will be yours; though it is a forest, you can clear it and it will be entirely yours. 16 You can conquer the Canaanites, though they have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels and are strong.”

[15:18] 7 tn Heb “she”; the referent (Acsah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[15:18] 8 tn Heb “him.” The referent of the pronoun could be Othniel, in which case the translation would be, “she incited him [Othniel] to ask her father for a field.” This is problematic, however, for Acsah, not Othniel, makes the request in v. 19. The LXX has “he [Othniel] urged her to ask her father for a field.” This appears to be an attempt to reconcile the apparent inconsistency and probably does not reflect the original text. If Caleb is understood as the referent of the pronoun, the problem disappears. For a fuller discussion of the issue, see P. G. Mosca, “Who Seduced Whom? A Note on Joshua 15:18//Judges 1:14,” CBQ 46 (1984): 18-22. This incident is also recorded in Judg 1:14.

Yadin, The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands, 255 and R. Drews, “The ‘Chariots of Iron’ of Joshua and Judges,” JSOT 45 (1989): 15-23.
