Joshua 11:23

11:23 Joshua conquered ¹  the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, ²  and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. ³  Then the land was free of war.

[11:23]  ¹ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ² 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]  ³ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”
