¹ tn Heb “Get up!”

² tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).

³ tc Heb “Cross over this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land that I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.” The final phrase, “to the children of Israel,” is probably a later scribal addition specifying the identity of “these people/them.”

⁴ tn Heb “were cut off from before.”

⁵ tn Heb “how the waters descending from above stood still.”

⁸ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).

¹⁰ tn Heb “but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword until they destroyed them.”

¹³ tn Heb “for from the Lord it was to harden their heart[s] to meet for the battle with Israel, in order to annihilate them, so that they would receive no mercy, in order annihilate them, as the Lord commanded Moses.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

¹⁷ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

¹⁸ tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”

¹⁹ tn Or “the priesthood of the Lord.”
