[23:28]  ¹ tn Heb “and I will send.”

[23:29]  ² tn Heb “the beast of the field.”

[7:2]  ³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[7:2]  ⁴ tn In the Hebrew text the infinitive absolute before the finite verb emphasizes the statement. The imperfect has an obligatory nuance here. Cf. ASV “shalt (must NRSV) utterly destroy them”; CEV “must destroy them without mercy.”

[7:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “covenant” (so NASB, NRSV); TEV “alliance.”

[9:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style to avoid redundancy.

[10:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “I have given them into your hand.” The verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action.

[10:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “and not a man [or “one”] of them will stand before you.”

[10:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Israel (mentioned at the end of the previous sentence in the verse; cf. NIV, NRSV), but it is also possible that the Lord should be understood as the referent (cf. NASB “and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon”), or even Joshua (cf. NEB “and Joshua defeated them utterly in Gibeon”).

[10:10]  ¹² tn Heb “struck them down with a great striking down.”

[10:10]  ¹³ tn Or “ascent.”

[11:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “burn with fire”; the words “with fire” are redundant in English and have not been included in the translation.

[11:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them at the Waters of Merom suddenly and fell upon them.”
