tn Heb “the one who stands before you”; NAB “your aide”; TEV “your helper.”

tn Heb “it”; the referent (the land) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “command”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “charge Joshua.”

tn Heb “your praise.” The pronoun is subjective and the noun “praise” is used here metonymically for the object of their praise (the Lord).

tc The MT lacks (probably by haplography) the phrase וְשֹׁסַע שֶׁסַע פַּרְסָה (vÿshosashesaparsah, “and is clovenfooted,” i.e., “has parted hooves”), a phrase found in the otherwise exact parallel in Lev 11:7. The LXX and Smr attest the longer reading here. The meaning is, however, clear without it.

tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you.”

11 tn Or “treat” (TEV).
