² tn Heb “sold them into the hands of.”

³ tn Heb “this was from the LORD.”

⁴ tn Heb “for an opportunity he was seeking from the Philistines.”

⁵ tn Heb “the Shihor”; the word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied to clarify the meaning.

⁶ tn Heb “in front of.”

⁷ tn Heb “it is reckoned to the Canaanites.”

⁸ tn Heb “the five lords of the Philistines, the Gazaite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gathite, and the Ekronite, and the Avvites.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “And when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.”

¹¹ tn Heb “Only you keep [away] from what is set apart [to the Lord] so that you might not, as you are setting [it] apart, take some of what is set apart [to the Lord] and make the camp of Israel set apart [to destruction by the Lord] and bring trouble on it.”

¹² tn Heb “and the land of the Gebalites.”

¹³ tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.” Most modern translations take the phrase “Lebo Hamath” to be a proper name, but often provide a note with the alternative, where “Hamath” is the proper name and לְבוֹא (lÿvo’) is taken to mean “entrance to.”
