⁵ tn Some Hebrew mss read, “spent the night in.”

⁹ tn Heb “as the leaders said to them.”

⁹ tn Heb “Now you are cursed and a servant will not be cut off from you, woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”

¹¹ tn Heb “and Joshua made them in that day woodcutters and water carriers for the community, and for the altar of the Lord to this day at the place which he chooses.”
