24:1 Joshua assembled all the Israelite tribes at Shechem. He summoned Israel’s elders, rulers, judges, and leaders, and they appeared before God.

Joshua 7:3

Luke 4:8

4:8 Jesus ¹³  answered him, ¹⁴  “It is written, ‘You are to worship ¹⁵  the Lord ¹⁶  your God and serve only him.’” ¹⁷ 

[6:14]  ¹ tn Heb “from the gods.” The demonstrative pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[24:14]  ² sn Joshua quotes the Lord’s words in vv. 2b-13 (note that the Lord speaks in the first person in these verses); in vv. 14-15 Joshua himself exhorts the people (note the third person references to the Lord).

[24:14]  ³ tn Heb “fear.”

[24:14]  ⁴ tn Or “and serve.”

[24:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “your fathers.”

[24:14]  ⁶ tn Or “served.”

[24:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity; see v. 3.

[24:14]  ⁸ tn Or “and serve.”

[7:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “and they returned to Joshua and said to him.”

[7:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Don’t let all the people go up.”

[7:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Let about two thousand men or about three thousand men go up to defeat Ai.”

[7:3]  ¹² tn Heb “all the people for they are small.”

[4:8]  ¹³ tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:8]  ¹⁴ tc Most mss, especially the later ones (A Θ Ψ 0102 ˹³ Ï it), have “Get behind me, Satan!” at the beginning of the quotation. This roughly parallels Matt 4:10 (though the Lukan mss add ὀπίσω μου to read ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, σατανᾶ [{upage opisw mou, satana]); for this reason the words are suspect as a later addition to make the two accounts agree more precisely. A similar situation occurred in v. 5.

[4:8]  ¹⁵ tn Or “You will prostrate yourself in worship before…” The verb προσκυνέω (proskunew) can allude not only to the act of worship but the position of the worshiper. See L&N 53.56.

[4:8]  ¹⁶ tc Most later mss (A Θ 0102 Ï) alter the word order by moving the verb forward in the quotation. This alteration removes the emphasis from “the Lord your God” as the one to receive worship (as opposed to Satan) by moving it away from the beginning of the quotation.

[4:8]  ¹⁷ sn A quotation from Deut 6:13. The word “only” is an interpretive expansion not found in either the Hebrew or Greek (LXX) text of the OT.
