[2:2]  ¹ tn Or “look.”

[2:2]  ² tn Heb “men have come here tonight from the sons of Israel.”

[3:8]  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.

[3:8]  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.

[4:1]  ¹ tn Heb “And when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.”

[4:6]  ¹ tn Heb “that this may be”; the referent of “this” (the twelve stones) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:6]  ² tn Heb “in order that this might be a sign among you.”

[8:4]  ¹ tn Or “commanded, ordered.”

[20:2]  ¹ tn Heb “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘Set aside for yourselves.’”

[20:2]  ² tn Or “asylum.”
