Joshua 10:24

10:24 When they brought the kings out to Joshua, he ¹  summoned all the men of Israel and said to the commanders of the troops who accompanied him, “Come here ²  and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came up ³  and put their feet on their necks.

Joshua 10:2

10:2 All Jerusalem was terrified ⁴  because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai and all its men were warriors.

Joshua 22:1

Joshua Sends Home the Eastern Tribes

22:1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh

Ezekiel 21:29

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you ⁵  –

to place that sword ⁶  on the necks of the profane wicked, ⁷ 

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.

¹ tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style.

² tn Or “Draw near.”

³ tn Or “drew near.”

⁴ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

⁵ tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

⁶ tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.
