Exodus 17:9

17:9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our ¹  men and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”

Exodus 24:13

24:13 So Moses set out ²  with ³  Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up the mountain of God.

Exodus 32:17

32:17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, ⁴  he said to Moses, “It is the sound of war in the camp!”

[17:9]  ¹ tn This could be rendered literally “choose men for us.” But the lamed (ל) preposition probably indicates possession, “our men,” and the fact that Joshua was to choose from Israel, as well as the fact that there is no article on “men,” indicates he was to select some to fight.

[24:13]  ² tn Heb “and he arose” meaning “started to go.”

[24:13]  ³ tn Heb “and.”

[32:17]  ⁴ sn See F. C. Fensham, “New Light from Ugaritica V on Ex, 32:17 (br’h),” JNSL 2 (1972): 86-7.
