Matthew 12:26

12:26 So if ²⁴  Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

¹ tn Or “afterward.”

² tn Heb “There was not a word from all which Moses commanded that Joshua did not read aloud.”

³ tn Heb “walked in their midst.”

⁴ tn Heb “mouth.”

⁵ tn Heb “read it in undertones,” or “recite it quietly” (see HALOT 1:237).

⁶ tn Heb “be careful to do.”

⁷ tn Heb “you will make your way prosperous.”

⁸ tn Heb “and be wise,” but the word can mean “be successful” by metonymy.

⁹ tn Heb “Get up!”

¹⁰ tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).

¹¹ 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.”

¹² tn Heb “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses, the man of God, because of me and because of you in Kadesh Barnea.”

¹³ tn Heb “return to your tents with.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “very many cattle.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “very much clothing.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “You have kept all which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, and you have listened to my voice, to all which I commanded you.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “all the land of the Hittites.” The expression “the land of the Hittites” does not refer to Anatolia (modern Turkey), where the ancient Hittite kingdom of the second millennium b.c. was located, but rather to Syria, the “Hatti land” mentioned in inscriptions of the first millennium b.c. (see HALOT 1:363). The phrase is omitted in the LXX and may be a scribal addition.

¹⁸ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

¹⁹ tn Heb “From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, even to the great sea [at] the place where the sun sets, your territory will be.”

²¹ tn Aram “according to the writing of.”

²² tn Heb “ears.”

²³ tn Heb “it was found.” The Hebrew verb is passive.

²⁴ tn This first class condition, the first of three “if” clauses in the following verses, presents the example vividly as if it were so. In fact, all three conditions in these verses are first class. The examples are made totally parallel. The expected answer is that Satan’s kingdom will not stand, so the suggestion makes no sense. Satan would not seek to heal.
