Yosua 8:24

8:24 When Israel had finished killing all the men ¹  of Ai who had chased them toward the desert ²  (they all fell by the sword), ³  all Israel returned to Ai and put the sword to it.

Yosua 11:23

11:23 Joshua conquered ⁴  the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, ⁵  and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. ⁶  Then the land was free of war.

[8:24]  ¹ tn Heb “residents.”

[8:24]  ² tn Heb “in the field, in the desert in which they chased them.”

[8:24]  ³ tc Heb “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed.” The LXX omits the words, “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword.” They may represent a later scribal addition.

[11:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

[11:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”
