Joshua 11:23

11:23 Joshua conquered ¹  the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, ²  and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. ³  Then the land was free of war.

Joshua 12:3

12:3 His kingdom included ⁴  the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Kinnereth ⁵  to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), ⁶  including the route to Beth Jeshimoth and the area southward below the slopes of Pisgah.

¹ tn Heb “took.”

² tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

³ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

⁴ tn The words “his kingdom included” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁵ sn The Sea of Kinnereth is another name for the Sea of Galilee. See the note on the word “Kinnereth” in 11:2.

⁶ sn The Salt Sea is another name for the Dead Sea.
