Joshua 5:6

5:6 Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the desert until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the Lord, died off. ¹⁰  For the Lord had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn on oath to give them, ¹¹  a land rich in ¹²  milk and honey.

⁴ tn Heb “bring you to an end.”

⁵ tn Heb “after he did good for you.”

⁶ tn Heb “residents.”

⁷ tn Heb “in the field, in the desert in which they chased them.”

⁸ tc Heb “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed.” The LXX omits the words, “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword.” They may represent a later scribal addition.

¹¹ tn Heb “When Joshua and the sons of Israel finished defeating them with a very great defeat until they were destroyed (now the survivors escaped to the fortified cities).” In the Hebrew text the initial temporal clause (“when Joshua…finished”) is subordinated to v. 21 (“the whole army returned”).

¹⁶ tn Heb “all the nation, the men of war who went out from Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of the Lord, came to an end.”

¹⁷ tn Some Hebrew mss, as well as the Syriac version, support this reading. Most ancient witnesses read “us.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “flowing with.”
