Joshua 3:8

3:8 Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenant, ‘When you reach the bank of the Jordan River, ¹  wade into the water.’” ² 

Joshua 10:19

10:19 But don’t you delay! Chase your enemies and catch them! ³  Don’t allow them to retreat to ⁴  their cities, for the Lord your God is handing them over to you.” ⁵ 

¹ tn Heb “the edge of the waters of the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

² tn Heb “stand in the Jordan.” Here the repetition of the word “Jordan” would be redundant according to contemporary English style, so it was not included in the translation.

³ tn Heb “But [as for] you, don’t stand still, chase after your enemies and attack them from the rear.”

⁴ tn Or “enter into.”

⁵ tn Heb “has given them into your hand.” The verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action.
