Joshua 15:1

15:1 The land allotted to the tribe of Judah by its clans reached to the border of Edom, to the Wilderness of Zin in the Negev far to the south. ¹ 

Joshua 1:2

1:2 “Moses my servant is dead. Get ready! ²  Cross the Jordan River! ³  Lead these people into the land which I am ready to hand over to them. ⁴ 

Isaiah 35:2

35:2 Let it richly bloom; ⁵ 

let it rejoice and shout with delight! ⁶ 

It is given the grandeur ⁷  of Lebanon,

the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.

They will see the grandeur of the Lord,

the splendor of our God.

¹ tn Heb “The lot was to the tribe of the sons of Judah by their clans to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin toward the south, southward.”

² tn Heb “Get up!”

³ tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).

⁴ 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.”

⁵ tn The ambiguous verb form תִּפְרַח (tifrakh) is translated as a jussive because it is parallel to the jussive form תָגֵל (tagel).

⁶ tn Heb “and let it rejoice, yes [with] rejoicing and shouting.” גִּילַת (gilat) may be an archaic feminine nominal form (see GKC 421 §130.b).

⁷ tn Or “glory” (KJV, NIV, NRSV); also a second time later in this verse.
