2:11 When we heard the news we lost our courage and no one could even breathe for fear of you. 1 For the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below!
Joshua 2:24
2:24 They told Joshua, “Surely the Lord is handing over all the land to us! 2 All who live in the land are cringing before us!” 3
1 tnHeb “And we heard and our heart[s] melted and there remained no longer breath in a man because of you.”
2 tnHeb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.
